Beefer,
Unfortunately your posts that often ( though not always) contain some extremely relevant facts, simply invite ridicule as it is your tendancy to attempt an association with "secret societies with funny handshakes" etc. & to be honest from one who appreciates where you are coming from, it is becoming repetitive & boring.
If you have even the slightest evidence of corruption then you should take this to the appropriate authorities.
Unfortunately I take the view that the source of much of your concern is simply down to the sheer ignorance & basic incompetence of those trusted with, what were, public assets.

Moving on then it would not make sense if Peel did not seek to make use of incumbant resource such as a road infrastructure.
This thread is about aviation, & recent posting has little in common with that purpose.
Peel as majority shareholders are quite aware as to how far the limits of commercial business will allow them to go in seeking to maximimise their profits & the value of their investment. You need to appreciate that "thats life" & move on.
Perhaps you could do better in considering as to why Peel are able to claim that "larger" 180 seat aircraft (who calls that large!!) which incidentally offer much more ecconomic seat / mile costs were not considered appropriate by Peel for the population of Teesside & it's surroundings.

The obvious answer & always was, that they made an early decision that the airport was worth more for it's land, though to realise such would take some time & the negotiation of any number of public objections.
For my part by the time of the 5 year break option, then conveniently there will not be a business case for further commercial aviation activity at DTV. To which no one on this thread has come up with a business case / practical scenrio to the contrary.

Unfortunately I see little changing as it is being suggested that the UK is going to tip back into recession which will further erode into the remaining time available in the initial 5 year period to address this.
Lets face it "life's not fair!" if you feel that you have something positive to contribute to DTV's survival, then get off your backside & address your concerns in a more public forum, where you will be able to canvass support.
