Teesside Airport: A New Beginning

No story has captured our imagination more than the heroic work of Ben Houchen, our Tees Valley Mayor to rescue our airport.

That new future began this week. The Airport is now under our ownership, run by an excellent and ambitious commercial partner in Stobart.

BBC Look North captured the new mood perfectly in their coverage. It’s well worth a watch to see the great areas of the airport that have been shut off and left to decay! All that potential can now be unlocked over the coming years ?✈️

In May, we need lots more great Conservative councillors to support Ben, and drive the next phase of renewal for our area.
