Reminder that this is what Houchen thinks of Richard Brooks. Would definitely have liked to be a fly on the wall when Houchen saw his 8 page expose had dropped.

Get your copy of Private Eye to read the 8 page special by Richard Brooks. An incredible body of work that lays bare Houchen’s reign as Tees Valley Mayor.
He absolutely needs dragging to Parliament to explain himself and the police should be investigating the customs zone.

Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen shared his economic wisdom at the Tory conference. The Conservative party, he said, must be the party of “sound money”.

If they integrated the services so you can jump on any bus would help. There’s so many journeys in the TV that require a change of service or bus operator that the £2/£3 flat fare has never benefited a lot of people.

Yep, they keep tweaking the timetables to ‘make them more reliable’ but it never seems to work.

2 hours to get to Newcastle by bus (used to take 50 minutes when I started commuting). 1hr 15 by train (plus 20 mins on bus to the station). Something needs to be done, we always seem to be going backwards.

The TVCA are being given £1bn to improve transport. Their current plans only add up to £515m. What are they doing with the rest of the money?
For an authority who is under special measures for financial mismanagement to be given this amount of cash I despair at what money pit it’ll be going into.

BBC Mayor’s questions.
🤐 Gillian was the only person who had her mic cut. Wonder why that is…
🤐 They also didn’t ask my question either.
⏰ It started at 9:15am so not even a full hour and it took 15 mins to answer 2 questions.
🤥 The next one is 2nd July. What happened to it being monthly?

I didn’t know you needed the eyes of a hawk to read about the TVCA’s plan to spend £128.133m in Digital and Tech. If you’re colour blind forget about it I guess. Can’t wait for them to oversee getting disabled people back to work when they don’t know the basics of readability.

It took the TVCA 3 weeks to respond to my email about bus regularity. This is something which affects me greatly and other people I know who use public transport.
The only reason they responded was because I followed up. How many other public concerns are they missing?
