The Government's announcement this week that the GLA will have to pay a further £300M to fund the 2012 Olympics will come as a further blow to Kingston residents.
This is yet another Olympic mugging. On top of the £200 average Olympic tax, Londoners will have to find this further vast sum.
It is particularly unfair on South West London, the residents of Chessington will have to pay, but people who live in Cheshunt, much closer to the Olympic site, will pay nothing.
