A floating pier proposed for
the Thames in central London has been delayed and will now not be built before
the Olympics.
The River Park, which is to stretch
1km (0.6 miles) from the Millennium Bridge to Custom House Access Bridge, was
hailed as an "amazing and unique attraction" by Mayor Boris Johnson.
But its layout and its impact on the
river have faced criticism.
The project developer said feedback
meant a redesign was now needed.
John Naylor, director of London River
Park, said: "While Londoners as a whole are supportive of the scheme, it
is clear local residents and river users would like us to look again at certain
elements of the scheme.
"We are now reviewing the
scheme, taking into account what we have been told.
"We are no longer proposing to take the scheme into the
construction phase in advance of the Olympic Games."
