Joy for campaigners as 'precious' Hackney paddling pool could be reopened (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Campaigners are celebrating victory after Hackney Council agreed to kickstart plans for the return of a children's paddling pool.

An estimated 15,000 people live on narrow boats dotted across London’s 100 miles of canals as the lifestyle has seen a surge in popularity. But there’s a darker side to this boom – the environmental impact of less responsible owners.
