Burges Road and "The Arches"

I am pleased to see that people may now once again cycle into Burges Road (East Ham) at the Barking end as well as out, as a cycle track has been installed.

After years of works going on in the area, I thought I'd check whether it is still possible to get under "the arches" - in fact where Barrington Rd and Stevenage Rd (E6) join under the railway bridge by the East Ham train depot. It's just as much a dump as it ever was -disgraceful - but you can get through on foot or by bike.

It is from this point that we really need a path to Barking across the open space, under the A406 and over the R Roding.
