I am absolutely thrilled, as I know the vast majority of people of Tees Valley will be that our Airport has now been rescued by the Tees Valley Combined Authority under the stewardship of our Mayor. At the same time a massive transformational investment plan has also been adopted, which will see a massive turn around in our local fortunes.
Almost two years ago, Ben promised he would bring Teesside Airport back into public ownership. He delivered that promise.
The future of our Town and the whole Tees Valley looks brighter today.
