It has reported in the Guardian on local resident  Dave Hill's blog and the Guardian bike blog  and Paul Owen's Olympic blog. The Hackney Gazette and Hackney Citizen wrote about it. It was mentioned in The New Statesman article Whose Olympics are they anyway? Hackney Tours have written about the closure on their blog Sport suffers by the Lee as Olympic Security Zone Expands.
