After the London Assembly found that taxpayers are still subsidising West Ham's rental of the Olympic Stadium, and paying legal fees for disputes around the contract, Caroline Pidgeon said:
“The more I hear about the Olympic Stadium contract with West Ham the more frustrated I get.
“Boris’ team signed this off and currently we are told each match day costs the taxpayer around £250k in subsidy…… unbelievable.
“The only winners are the lawyers in the disputes between West Ham and the LLDC re Olympic stadium use. £4m in legal fees with West Ham in last 3 years. You couldn’t make this up!”
