How much more do we have to pay for the London Stadium?
According to recent reports, the cost of transforming the London Stadium has risen from £272 million to £323 million.
The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) has yet to comment on the £51 million increase.
In November, the Mayor of London launched an investigation into the stadium’s spiralling costs.
Tomorrow, the London Assembly Budget Monitoring Sub-Committee will directly question the LLDC on the true cost of the London Stadium.
The financial position of the LLDC has been described as precarious, so who will fund these extra costs, when exactly did the LLDC know about the increased costs and what happens next to the Stadium’s future?
The guests are:
- David Goldstone CBE, Chief Executive, LLDC
- Gerry Murphy, Executive Director of Finance and Corporate Services, LLDC
The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 14 December from 2.30pm in Committee Room 4 at City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).
Media and members of the public are invited to attend. The meeting can also be viewed via webcast.
