"The report has cleared him of any wrongdoing (didn't it?!)"
Sadly the report did not clear him as you suggest even after several rewrites were "negotiated" If you read his Facebook page, however, you may be forgiven for thinking that. The grown-ups who may be potential investors take the facts from the broad sheets who remain very critical of his conduct as outlined in the report.
I cant imagine voting for the labour bloke but is he really anti-airport as suggested or is this just another of Lord H's mischievous inventions? Thought he had agreed with Peel's plan to invest in and develop the airport which suggests that he may not be anti, but we may never know.
Problem is that the current Mayor is damaged goods so is clearly now an impediment to the growth of the airport but no idea what we will get with the labour lot so dont know who to vote for.

"The airport will be safe when it makes money and stops being a political toy."
But with passengers numbers being so far short of expectations, freight being pretty much none existent (so far?) and the south side not generating any income and unlikely to do so any time soon will the airport be making a profit before its performance is reviewed by what we are told will be the next Labour government?

I would imagine that there really are not many people interested in voting for a mayor, the only people that will vote will be the lovers and the haters, even if he gets voted in he'll be facing a labour government, he'll find that very awkward.
I asked Houchen to clarify the £6.5 million investment, needless to say I received no response , and his refusal to have a meeting is astonishing, I guess he's confident to get re-elected.

Four Parties have their names down for the Tees Mayoral election. This election it will be first past the post result, so whoever gets most votes wins. It doesn't go on second preference like previously.
Conservatives - Ben Houchen
Green Party - Sally Bunce
Labour - Chris McEwan
Lib Dems - Simon Thorley

"Do we know anything definite about the funding for the hangar?"
The airport is owned by and funded by the taxpayer so us taxpayers know everything about the financial arrangements........ oh, just a minute!
