You've probably answered your own question about no sign of the motion activated lights doing anything, with the earlier comment about bird droppings.
Clearly if you have birds flapping about the motion activated lights are going to be doing their own thing anyway - I assume this is why the underside of the bridge hasn't been meshed over to keep the birds out - it looks from your photo that there are spikes - but clearly they haven't worked.
It'll probably revert to bird poo hell.

How nice to see the early daffodils.

An interesting corner. "Bridgewater Road" appears (from Open Street Map) to be the name of a footpath. Is this because it was once a road in pre-Olympic times?

I don't suppose there's any evidence of the footpath opening on the N side of the City Mill River and under the railway? And can you get to the SW corner of the allotments where the Greenway will eventually emerge?

As it happens I went through nearby with a flotilla of narrowboats last Thursday, via the River Lea then City Mill Lock and out onto the tidal River Lee via the huge Three Mills Lock (10 narrowboats). City Mill was open as we were lucky to get level water levels (Waterways River is controlled by lockkeepers for blood defence). The bridge under Stratford High Street is very low so often 3 Mills lock is not available. The boats went down the Thames to West India Dock (it seems they were deemed too much a 'security risk' to moor in the Royal Docks down Excel way as in previous years). We return on Monday morning entering the Thames around 8.30 via the river Lee again...it takes about 40 minutes to get to Bow locks or 3 Mills and back into the safety of the canal system. There are a few photos at [Facebook link]
Mid May we are promised that the Crossrail dam will be removed and the OP loop will be available to private boats, Carpenters Lock should also be renovated too.

@ Malcolm, my 2007 street map shows Bridgewater Rd, it led off Warton Rd through the factories that were the main feature of that area pre-Olympics. I knew it well, the journey along Carpenters Rd involved various smells, including from the meat pie and Clarnico factories, which were pleasant, and some less-pleasant aromas too. How the area has changed!

Looking at openstreetmap there seems to be a continuing path along the opposite side of the Waterworks river just beyond Bridgewater Road. Is that path not open?

.... and they closed it again!
I've tried to use the path to go into the Olympic Park and I've found it closed.
I've asked around to the men working there, and a guy working for Crossrail said he saw men checking all the bridges in the area.
Anyway, it is shocking that whoever closed it can take such decision without notice and without having to put any sign to explain.
I've tweeted about it hashtagging the council and Network Rail, but I don't have much hope. If you have idea of who manages that area, please let me know
