I took all these photographs between the Eastway and Omega Works this week. Most are taken right outside my house in Wick Village. The water is full of debris - mainly empty bottles. There is also some kind of oil and scum on the water. The towpath is covered in litter - some of it has been there since before Christmas.

We asked Canal River Trust why we no longer see cleaning boats on the Lea, when it was cleaned daily during the Olympics. They said they got extra money from the ODA to clean during the games. It seems as though the Lea is only important when the eyes of the world are on it.
