Have I read this correctly? Houchen made a unilateral decision that there was NOTHING to discuss after publication of the report? And didn't inform any other members of the board?James Waterson of North East Bylines has written an excellent account of the TVCA shenanigans, including Lord Airport's abrupt decision to cancel the next the upcoming cabinet meeting on 15 March.

Like most committee meetings as long as there are sufficient members to form a quorum the meeting goes ahead. If the Crab Killer does not want to attend. He is more than welcome to send his apologies. Houchen is a fraud and should be voted out of office.

And now I know what "Gold Plating " means. NE Bylines and Tees Monitor are all over this - once they've got their teeth into it, they're like terriers. Great work.

With an organisation like this, no wonder the sharks and BenT took the public to the cleaners.

NE Bylines are great at this stuff - proper investigative journalism. When you think NEB is only 'citizens' journalism, they put the Gazette to shame.

A spokesman for Mr Houchen's office said the mayor would "not be engaging in a back and forth with a failed council leader who is clearly still very bitter".

What an absolute sh!thouse statement. Typical populist ad hominem attack.

Holy sh!tsticks. What a car crash Houtchen is. This report on the TCVA meeting is depressing.
The Gazette headline is typically sensationalist. If his wife was harassed then that is totally unacceptable. If such an incident did happen (and that's a massive IF) it was likely only him being pulled up for his lies, incompetence and complicity in the Freeport shakedown.

Ben Houchen says he and pregnant wife were 'harassed in street' over Teesworks allegations
