I cycle into CW via Cable Street, cross Butcher Row and then go through the little park, over the bridge and onto Horseferry Road. I have been noticing that the little gate at the entrace of that little park (after you cross Butcher Row) has been locked on the cycling lane - the pedestrian lane is opened. I don't know if I'm explaining myself right here, but basically, one half of the gate is locked with a padlock. I couldn't find anything in the Tower Hamlets website with information whether this was decided by the council or not. Does anybody knows why and who locked it?

No idea. But contact Tower Hamlets Wheelers, who will be interested.

I know exactly where you mean because I used to live on the Isle of Dogs and have cycled through that little park numerous times. Can't help you as to why the gate is closed, but if I recall correctly then it's not much of a cycle path anyway - quite narrow and the boundary between the two halves is not respected by pedestrians, so I would have no qualms about using either side of the path/gate. In any case, I reckon it's probably nothing more sinister than that the person whose responsibility it is to open and close the gate just can't be bothered to do it.
