Oh dear. Onion talks about hiding behind a keyboard but then fires of more abuse and aggression from his/her keyboard.
Investigative journalists report having attempted to clarify the situation but apparently with no success and they refer to Freedom of Information requests being resisted. The mayors office have had plenty of opportunity to clarify the situation.

Regarding the investigative journalists.... they have been known to be wrong and i welcome the inquiry that has been set up. Politicians should be held to account.
In the same way politicians need to be held accountable so should posters on this forum.
When we post clear untruths I will call it out. Likewise I will call out blatant manipulation of my words too.

Suspicion arises because of the apparent secrecy and the Mayors alledged conduct at Teessworks. Where does it say 90% asks Onion. The problem is that there seems to be little in the public domain in relation to this tax payers asset and when it eventually came out the 90% of the Freeport had been handed over some may have assumed it was same proportion at the South Side in the absence of clarification from the mayors office. I will be delighted if sombody can point to anything in the public domain that explains the process in selecting the new partners, why it had to be kept sectret (assuming it was), the amount that they paid, their future investment and the split between owners.

There seems to be confusion here over 'Freeport' 'Teeswork' 'Teesside Airport' and the business park at the airport.
Knowing a little about the running of Freeports - I think there is mass confusion over ownership of land, ownership of property and ownership of the actual operator of the Freeport customs sites. It is a minefield granted.
The operators of the Freeport can be a business with no physical assets! Unfortunately I haven't been involved in the Teesside Freeport so can't really comment on its structure and who is running it, but have had more input/dealings with the East Midlands and Humber Freeports.
If companies do transfer assets from one to another then it needs to be clearly demonstrated as such in the accounts to those companies.
Admittedly if you are up to no good you would try and hide that but the values we are talk would be harder to surpress/hide.
Well, they're not at SEN.
Whether that may be their new intended base I don't know but I've heard nothing at all about that being planned, although I'm not as much 'in the loop' as I used to be.

Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said: “These figures show we are well and truly heading in the right direction when it comes to making our airport a success. But we know there is still a very long way to go. Breaching the 25,000 figure is good, but we have ambitions to be hitting that every single week"

"Let’s see what the next set of announcements bring in the Autumn"
A few weeks ago the mayor stated that deals for new routes had been agreed but that he was not able to disclose details until Sept/Oct. Interesting that he has now reverted back to the more usual rhetoric that "we are in talks"......
Looking forward to Sept/Oct.
