The plot thickens!
SWBKCB, thanks for the Northern Echo piece, it makes very interesting reading on what was promised by Peel. Didn't Hugh go off on other Peel ventures and NHS boards? What happened to Mr Williams from Darlington council, and Mr Walsh (Redcar council) who was a member on the airport commitee? Did they write the contract as they seemed to be very supportive of Peel didnt they?
£500K was a very small amount to pay! I wonder if there is any small print which allows for the airport to be taken back by the councils, as the promised investment didn't materialise? Cargo centre ha, the taxi way didnt even happen!
I liked the quip by Hugh...."so we can hit the ground running"! He didnt hang around either did he!
Out of interest who from the various councils currently sit on the Airport board?
