Image: Johnson will personally oversee the Olympic Park's legacy plans

London Mayor Boris Johnson has taken over the chairmanship of the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC).

The announcement follows news that Johnson moved Daniel Moylan, who'd only been chair of LLDC since June, to spearhead a new aviation policy unit.

Making the announcement, Johnson said the Olympic Park and the continued regeneration of east London were "top priorities" and ones which he will "personally oversee".

Johnson said: "Securing the future of the Olympic and Paralympic legacy and building on the regeneration of east London is a matter of huge importance to me personally.

"It is vital that I continue to be at the forefront of the decision-making, driving forward the huge task of delivery. The chairmanship of the LLDC will enable me to do just that, building on what has already been achieved.

""Daniel Moylan is a gifted politician with a superb brain. I've asked Daniel to take on one of the most important challenges of my second term, the vital task of driving our aviation policy."
