Olympic Masterplan slims up

The Olympic Delivery Authority has unveiled its revised masterplan for the 2012 Olympics. Though on paper the changes appear to be a mere shuffling around of elements, there will apparently be significant changes on the ground. The revised landscaping proposal, according to the AJ, will stick "far more closely to the existing topography" - good news for twitchers and essex cyclists everywhere. Some sporting events have been decanted from the main site and there is apparently renewed focus on temporary structures and legacy.

Warm feelings currently surrounding David Higgins: all this is precisely what a large quantity of interested parties have been waiting for.
