The contract has been awarded to create and manage the northern section of parklands in the Olympic Park.

Edmund Nuttall scooped the contract which includes tree planting and the construction of the concourse which will link all the venues, entrances and parklands. The contract will also include creating new wetland and other wildlife habitats, installing new allotments and permanent park furniture, lighting, irrigation and drainage.


ODA Head of Parklands and Public Realm John Hopkins said: "This is another important step towards the creation of the parklands that will both enhance the experience of the Games for spectators, athletes and TV viewers and leave a fantastic new green space in legacy. The project is on track and we will be working with our contractor to quickly roll-out the process of buying the tree and plant packages for the whole of the Park."
