The Marshgate Lane Greenway Access project is focused on the walking and cycling routes to the south of the London Stadium and Bobby Moore Academy Senior School over to Pudding Mill Lane. This project is a collaboration between London Legacy Development Corporation and London Borough of Newham.

This area is undergoing significant change, with many people already using local routes to travel to school, events, and homes in the area, and many more to come as developments at Pudding Mill Lane come forward. The project area has been highlighted in the recent Safer Places Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Area Survey as being of concern in relation to safety for women, girls, and gender diverse people.

The objective of the project is to improve local connections and open space by improving the cycling and walking route between Pudding Mill Lane DLR station and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, to make it easier for people get around and over the Greenway and under the railway. The project hopes to introduce features that will help improve sense of safety in the area for all users, particularly at the underpass beneath the railway.

    London Legacy Development Corporation is inviting comments on the planning application for a new permanent public artwork in the Marshgate Lane area, as part of the Marshgate Lane Greenway Access Project.

    The artwork, Fragments of Our Land, has been curated and produced by leading public art organisation, UP Projects and is the outcome of a co-creation process involving East London based artist Sahra Hersi and a group of local women who have a direct relationship with the area. The artwork has been designed to enhance safety, wayfinding and legibility, and to create a sense of belonging and welcome.


    Consisting of a series of six distinct "fragments", the artwork aims to address existing challenges that can make the space feel unwelcoming or unsafe, using art both as a functional and symbolic wayfinding tool.


    We are keen to hear your thoughts and feedback, and we look forward to your views and support in bringing this exciting project to life.

    How to comment:
    Comments on the artwork design can be submitted either below, or to liammorrisey@londonlegacy.co.uk

    Alternatively, more details can be found on the planning application website and comments can be submitted directly here:https://pa.newham.gov.uk/online-applications/ use reference: PP-13987425

    As part of the development of art/wayfindng across the project site, London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) have appointed leading public art commissioning organisation, UP Projects to commission a new artist-led wayfinding artwork in the Marshgate Lane area.

    Intended to respond to notions of safety in this area, this project will be informed by a process of co-creation with a group of girls, women and gender diverse individuals who live, work and/or regularly use the Marshgate Lane area between Pudding Mill Lane DLR station and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.  

    The project responds to community feedback around safety in this particular public throughway particularly felt by girls, women and gender diverse individuals. It is hoped that the wayfinding interventions may be able to make visible and/or actively respond to some of these issues by directly engaging with this target group. 

    Newham based artist Sahra Hersi has been appointed to work with a group of women to co-create artwork proposals for Marshgate Lane. Over the course of ten workshops the eight Community Collaborators will help shape the design development process whilst engaging in activities including site mapping, form and material research, exploring what wayfinding means in the context of this project and collectively reflecting on what it means to feel safe and welcome within public contexts.

    The final artwork proposal is to be developed by January 2025 with a suggested launch date of June 2025 subject to all relevant permissions.
