Wasn't the point been that people of influence in the town need to live in the town?Didn't know Gibbo was running to be Mayor.
I don't think it was no?Wasn't the point been that people of influence in the town need to live in the town?
what did he work as in the schools?To be clear Chris Cooke is everything that Andy Preston isn’t.
He’s honest
He cares about the people of our town
He lives in the town
He’s happy to set agendas and let the experts do their jobs.
He wants much more openness in the council, it’s currently like a secret society.
A little about him..
He has a degree in IT, and worked n schools for a number of years, he then moved to the third sector where he helps run a charity in Middlesbrough. I’m sure Chris will have lots to say in the next few weeks.
Yet you live miles from the town but feel the need to comment constantly ?

To the best of my knowledge none of the current first team squad live in Middlesbrough either.
That's what the post sounded like.I don't think it was no?
That's what the post sounded like.
So why the multi millionaire, grade two listed home comment?Well, it wasn’t.
People of influence don’t need to live in the town across all sectors and areas.
The Mayor should however have an understanding of what life is like for residents.
Preston does not.
He doesn’t, he feels to me a Tory shill. Pops up with negative comments about Labour, never positiveHow do you know that?
Man gets public servant mixed up with a sportsman. I actually hope you are trolling here, because you're smart enough to realise the difference.What does it matter how much money he has and what house he lives in?

Trolling? No. A loose comparison. As mentioned previously I've no skin in the game, I don't live in the town, the same as I'd hazard a guess a third of the posters that use this board. I just found it a bit silly that one of the things aimed at Preston was that he doesn't live in the town so isn't fit to be mayor.Man gets public servant mixed up with a sportsman. I actually hope you are trolling here, because you're smart enough to realise the difference.
What properties does Andy Peston own or have an involvement in? I hear it’s over 50 around the Middlehaven area…Knew this would be a ton!
The power of Preston
Yes, I guess being a mayor does help "grease the wheels" if you're struggling with red tape in your quest to make money for yourselfNot a clue. Think he was involved in commercial property wasn’t he??
Obviously been very profitable for him, anyway.
Good to have a successful businessman like that running the town. Someone who understands how the wheels of industry turn and what it takes to get projects off the ground
