London Assembly demands to see West Ham's landlord's accounts amid concerns E20 Stadium LLP is heading towards insolvency

London Assembly members have demanded to see the financial accounts of the company that owns West Ham's London Stadium home amid concerns it is heading towards insolvency.

The centrepiece of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games is owned by E20 Stadium LLP, a joint venture between the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) and Newham Council.

Despite having West Ham as an anchor tenant, the £752million stadium has been dogged by financial concerns as the price tag for converting it from an athletics venue to a football ground, and vice-versa, has repeatedly surpassed estimates.

This has led the assembly's budget and performance committee to take the rare step of issuing a summons notice for E20's 2016/17 accounts.
