Alleged corruption, the records were destroyed so that they couldn't trace the full skullduggery.I was just going to post about the TDC, as far as I can recall it was dissolved because of huge debts and serious corruption.
I always find it interesting when proposals such as these are expressed and people from more desperate areas are drawn in and cheer that they've been rewarded over their equally desperate neighbours. What kind of humanity are we creating?
Had the TDC not been formed what would we be missing out on. If Stockton council had proposed to ship local jobs out of town and build a barrier across the Tees could you imagine the outcry. Instead they're having to spend millions repairing the effects of TDCs flagship development.
We did see development and the creation of temporary jobs in the regeneration periods but at the same time we saw a decrease in long term jobs as we outsourced (and continue to do so) well paid, long term jobs.
As was said 40 years ago, the Tory voters know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
