Crowd-funded scheme for London
Actor David Suchet is fronting a new campaign to regenerate an historic east London dock near the Olympic Park through the creation of a “crowd-funded” nature and arts hub. Cody Dock, an area of industrial land on the
River Lea, is to be rejuvenated without the help of government funding under plans drawn up by the Gasworks Dock Partnership charity. Suchet – the man who played television
detective Poirot for more than two decades – said the project will reinvent the dock as a new hub for artists and boaters among others. Members of the public can pledge support

Spacehive.com, a website set up to back community building projects affected by the economic downturn. More than £56,000 has been raised but the

docks currently sits behind lock and key in a neglected corner of the capital. Tis brilliant project will reinvent it as a vibrant home for artists, entrepreneurs, and boaters.” Read more:
