A Mayor For Tees Valley

[fmttmadmin]

Might be too late for that and if not sounds like it would be a money pit to save and operate it.
It's a shame it was not treated as the icon it is but on the other hand reflects accurately the decay of the old industries that caused it to be built in the first place.

Don't think that is true - it is not beyond repair and if there was a real will we could bring in funding. It could be saved and surely it needs to be saved - it is a massive part of our identity.

37 stone?

Yeah, seems believable.

Stunning contribution to the topic.

Sadiq Khan said on the Alistair Campbell/Rory Stewart podcast yesterday that Labour will change the voting system back to what it was for London Mayor. So that might apply to the others too.

Labour didn't oppose the voting system change.

Doesn't make it right.

No it certainly doesn't, but it makes one doubt these pledges that they'll reverse it when they get back in.

Could they have when there is a 50mp working majority?

I'm not sure reopening the Transporter to working status will be feasible, but it could certainly be preserved and reopened as a visitor attraction.

As i've said before, who actually used it when it *was* working on a regular basis?

It must be worth a couple of million as scrap. Do we know anyone nearby running a scrap metal business?

Fair play to Bandy for recognising so early what a waste of time social media would be.

Yep, if only we could pull some of his rants from the archive. I believe it was only "birds" who used Twitter and Facebook.

Good job he hasn't got any young babies to cart into the office these days.

Itv interviews in Redcar:
‘He (Houchen) got our airport back’ from one guy.
Interviewer asks another guy:
‘Are you not bothered about the allegations surrounding Houchen?’
‘Naaa its just sour grapes isnt it’

Some of the people in this area are pathetic

Disturbing that they are so easily taken in.
