I want our investments to succeed, and I believe that Teesworks is the vanguard of a green Industrial Revolution here in our region. But local people need to see the benefits of the investment we’re currently getting, and any future investment projects in the Tees Valley

This seems a funny way to address the 28 damning recommendations the report made. Lord Houchen should start taking these recommendations seriously. They ask serious questions about his leadership and the people of the Tees Valley deserve answers. Perhaps if he spent less time…
