Brady to face London Assembly hearing

The London Assembly have released a statement following yesterday’s hearing on London Stadium finances and claiming West Ham Vice-Chairman Karren Brady will face the same committee in October to tell her side of the story.

The press statement reads:  “At today’s meeting of the London Assembly Budget and Performance Committee, the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) claimed it costs £250,000 for every West Ham match hosted at the London Stadium. The LLDC also said that legal fees will reach £4 million by the end of this year.

Len Duvall AM, Deputy Chair of the London Assembly Budget and Performance Committee said:

“It’s about time the London Legacy Development Corporation and West Ham put aside their squabbles and sort out their relationship.

“The two sides have spent a fortune on legal bills and now they need to wake up to the fact that Londoners expect and deserve value for money.

“We urge them to reset their relationship for the sake of Londoners and realise instead the potential of a fantastic Olympic legacy project.”

West Ham vice-chairman Baroness Karren Brady CBE will appear before the Committee on October 17. The Assembly wishes to ensure it hears both sides of the story.”
