HT to @rbrooks45.bsky.social and @privateeyenews.bsky.social, who've put their full exposé of the Houchen/Teesworks scandal online. Shamefully little reaction from govt. Where are our elected Tees Valley MPs? It's mostly on your patch, @annaturley.bsky.social

Brian Wilson was my friend and cycling companion. That is, for about twenty minutes on the Whitchurch Way path in Bristol, as I set him on course for the Bristol-Bath path after his gig the night before. And – the shame of it! - I didn't realise who he was till I got home

Impressive work by New Marske Harriers and R&C council to light the way for runners and riders between Marske and Redcar. First the Pink Path, now the Coast Road and Green Lane too - here's where it starts along the Coast Road

#AnnaTurley, M.P for #Redcar, still seems to be using her website to fight last July's election. Or is there a current site I've not yet found?

MYSTERY. Why would #BritainRemade, a small think tank, go to great expense to run a public meeting promoting #NetZeroTeesside? It's a new fossil fuel power station plus iffy carbon capture technology - and it's got the nod already.

Found this NAO report into the long dead Teesside Devt. Corporation. 25 yrs on, Ben Houchen & co still haven't got the message.
