Video: Cisco 2012 Interview Seven: LLDC James Bulley, Director of Venues and Infrastructure at LOCOG explains how the London 2012 Olympic Park in Stratford is being transformed for use by the general public, now that the Games are finished. The temporary venues such as basketball and water polo have been taken down and handed over to London Legacy Development Corporation. The next stage of the process is for the LLDC to join the Park up with the surrounding boroughs, completing bridges, cycle paths and roads, and finishing the permanent venues, such as the Aquatics Centre, says Colin Naish, Director of the LLDC. The Park opens a year after the Games, on July 27, 2013, when some areas of the north park and the main road from the north of the site to Stratford will be opened. When the work is complete, the iconic venues will remain but the area of parkland will have doubled, with 4,000 more trees planted, and less concourse space.
