David Lammy, MP for Tottenham, has urged the government to help progress plans for the redevelopment of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club's (THFC) stadium in North London.

The Premier League club revealed in January that its Northumberland Development Project proposals were no longer viable due to increased costs. However, THFC was unsuccessful in its bid to move to the Olympic Stadium following the 2012 Games and Lammy is now looking to ensure the club remains at its current home.

Speaking in Parliament, Lammy asked sports minister Hugh Robertson to meet with THFC chair Daniel Levy and Haringey Council in a bid to push forward the scheme. Lammy said: "It is essential that all parties involved - the club, the local council, the mayor and the government - work together to deliver this scheme."

The KSS-designed Northumberland Development Project is centred around a 56,000-seat stadium and has received planning permission from the council and the mayor of London.
