You really think that local government elections have anything to do with this???????? ( we didnt have them on Teesside)
This thread goes round and round........the owners bought the airport with the long term objective of turning it into a development site, knowing, as they did that the population of Teesside is insufficient to warrant an airport.It was a shrewd, cynical, cold , calculating ,(whatever!) decision in the boardroom of Peel Holdings. Everything that has happened since the Peel lads took over has fallen in with the master plan, all the rest is claptrap, designed to humour the councillors, development agency, government office and all the other spacecadets who have chucked taxpayers money into the place.
