The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) is considering putting Olympic lanes into the Blackwall Tunnel, east London, which links the 2012 site to Greenwich.

As the process of planning for the Olympics in Greenwich Park moves forward, local Conservatives have been fighting to ensure no damage is done by the events and there are long-term benefits to the borough. Simon Gallie
said: “Greenwich Park is at the heart of our community. We are very concerned by the plans for a temporary stadium and will oppose these at the Council’s planning committee if they are inappropriate.”
