Teesside-2
The answer,
However, the Conservatives in the region have hit back at Mr McDonald’s comments. Mr Houchen said: “Andy McDonald is a coward. I dare him to repeat these claims outside of the Parliament. He won't though because he knows he’d be sued for defamation immediately for these untrue claims.

A legitimate but uncomfortable question to ask, is the the mayor's now questionable reputation one of the reasons for the lack of growth of passenger services and the complete absence of any proper freight flights? Similar to the apparent vertual lack of tenants (so far) for Teesworks that he also refuses to address.

If this thread was about a privately owned airport like London City, people wading in about whether Khan is any good or whether they do or don’t want the ULEZ should rightly be moved elsewhere. But as this thread is about an airport owned by the TVCA and who’s lead is an elected representative, and that elected person has been carrying out questionably activities which appear to be to some extent replicated at the airport, it’s entirely right it should be discussed.

Political discussion on here is relevant to a point but it definitely goes too far. What the Mayor does with other sites such as TeesWorks is no concern of this thread

As I said, very little was said when Labour councils gifted the airport away.... I'm all for holding politicians accountable but there are some on here were that verges on a vendetta!

Plus I was comparing the attention they got with the current situation, a political situation.
I'm not the one now trying to re-write history as you say.

Facts, figures and what has been given to friends?
From what I can see there were NO tenders produced by the Mayors government body to invite quotes for the same land? Why NOT?
Doesn'tt the government have auditors to oversee the land give aways up to now?
This is starting to look a strange way of operating a government agency. Its more like a friend of a friend deal.
The MP's and Private Eye should be asking for an inquiry, after all the airport was supposed to be public land.
Has anyone on here got a map of what has been given to the friends companies?

Are you even sure the South side has been given away?? The whole point of the project is to generate rental income which won't be possible if we don't own it
