Olympic Park to be reconstructed in London
The handover of the Olympic Park, which is being transformed from a competition venue for the London 2012 Games, has begun, the London 24 reports.
The phased handover of venues, spaces and responsibilities from the London 2012 organisers to the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) is so the venue in Stratford, east London, can be changed into its future use as a residential, sporting and community location.
The LLDC is now in operational control of the Olympic Park, including areas such as perimeter security, access control and logistics operations and associated areas.
A £292 million construction project will take place at the site, set to open in phases as the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from July 2013.
The whole Park should be open by spring 2014.
