Solicitors think again. Time for the government to look at the airport give away

And so it begins.
Solicitors acting for the other councils will be making a fortune advising councillors about latest FOI requests, and their involvement in the airport give away.

Comments by the public under the news piece say it all. Shredding tonight, and some wondering how do we dodge this one

Councils to reconsider releasing Durham Tees Valley Airport deal details | The Northern Echo

Looks like Peel / Tokenhouse will be coming under the spotlight and who in their right mind would agree to sale conditions which have been revealed in the press.
Why didn't the council tell their own lawyers to include a claw back clause if Peel made a hash of it, as Peel had the clauses about closing the airport if it wasn't viable, and the one about taking shares after 10 years if the councils didn't give them millions!!!.

In the press there are moves to use a compulsory purchase order on the old SSI steel site. Time for the Mayor to do the same with Durham Tees Valley Airport and send Peel and their favourite councillors packing.
