I noted that Peter Nears (part time dtv boss) mentioned that Peel may still go ahead with the cargo park on the south side according to recent press reports.
Without the £5.9m grant I think they may find moving the large National Grid gas pipeline on the south side just a bit too expensive for a few warehouses.
There again stranger things have happened, and the local MP Wharton did say on TV last week that Peel made £55m
profit last year.
Wouldnt it be nice if they spent some of that profit on Teesside Airport
Nears also asks for a reduction in airport taxes in the latest spin.
Maybe Peel might like to lead the way and scrap their own £6 passenger duty
