David Lammy reacts to reports that Spurs' will pursue a judicial review over Olympic Stadium legacy decision

Reacting to the news that Tottenham Hotspur will lodge a judicial review against the Mayor, the government and the OLPC, David Lammy MP (Member of Parliament for Tottenham) said:

“I’m deeply disappointed that Spurs are still looking to move to Stratford. A judicial review is a costly and lengthy process that will only line the pockets of lawyers, leaving the club, its fans and the Tottenham community in limbo.

“We have made real progress in the last few weeks to kick start the redevelopment at White Hart Lane. We have got a Mayoral Development Corporation and we want an enterprise zone to boost Spurs. I’m calling on both sides – the club and the government – to come back together to work out how to get the Northumberland Development Project back on the road. That is what fans want, it is what Tottenham wants and it is what London wants.”
