      • •Existing landowners and users had to leave the site. Some protested, but the land was bought from them by the ODA
      • •Electricity pylons had to be removed and overhead cables buried below ground to improve the appearance of the landscape
      • •The land had to be brought together under one new owner, the ODA (Olympic Delivery Authority) which was set up by the government
