MP Durham - DTV Airport
Yes! The MP is an idiot - (with history)! He was loathed as a councillor of Newcastle City Council, He has alienated true Labour members in North West Durham by supporting, for example, Stanley Town Council when he couldn't "get his way" in the larger Derwentide District Council.- However, I believe he is absolutely correct in calling for support for ONE Airport for the North East Region. - Surface links from Teeside (especially M'bro, Stockton & Hartlepool) need upgrading with Airport Coach & Express Rail links to Newcastle Airport with maximum travel time of less than an hour in comfortable Intercity style coaches. Hopefuly such a move will incentivise Airlines to increase the number & quality of routes to more European hubs and Intercontinental destinations direct from our region.
