TEESWORKS scandal continues (Teesside Freeport)
Where is Labour on this?
Promoting more Freeports and SEZs when none of them have proved in the slightest bit beneficial to anyone but investors
Tell me otherwise if you know any genuinely “good” stories which aren’t number juggling

How much more evidence does the government need before it agrees to launch an NAO investigation into Teesworks? How many more £millions of public funds will Ben Houchen give away? #teesside #bbclaurak

Labour think we’ve all moved on. That is absolutely not the case. The Teesworks site and the failure of the STDC to safeguard public funds will affect us for years to come and in one of the poorest areas of the country. It is a dereliction of duty to draw a line under this. We need the #NAOnow

🏭 Hartlepool Council signs a deal to lease land to build a huge waste incinerator at Teesworks.
But who is the freeholder?
A deep-dive on all things Teesworks and a look at land deals at the controversial site to now.

Incinerators, Teesworks land deals and everything in-between
From Hartlepool to Redcar the question of burning rubbish appears to be of high value for the future of these sites

Whilst we absolutely decry the handing over of public funds to private hands (& their offspring) we must not forget that Teesworks brought in a criminal who is still serving time. He is overseeing the security of the site. A customs zone. When his crime was drugs trafficking through A CUSTOMS ZONE.

Teesside's profit share is split 90/10 in favour of the private sector.

The Government has to stop even pretending they can deal with Baron Houchen as a serious politician. A man who sanctions this while we pay his PR team to tell us about a new flight from our debt-ridden airport should be thoroughly investigated and kept at arms length

Oh to have an update on what is happening with the Teesworks NAO. Labour on Teesside giving zero 💩’s on this as far as I can tell.

TVCA told me Teesside Airport owes them £150,941. It's actually more than £150 million!
Note the "£000s" at the top of the column. Did they ignore that accidentally, or do it deliberately?
Thanks to Leigh Jones of The Teesside Lead for helping me to make sense of this.
