I don't live locally, but looking from outside, it appears that there's a lot of things announced and not a lot happening.Article about, well, him mainly but perhaps I'm being unfair. What do any of you who live locally think ???
Yes, I feel the same when I return to visit the family.I don't live locally, but looking from outside, it appears that there's a lot of things announced and not a lot happening.
I recognise that's probably due to the election cycle v time taken to carry out infrastructure work, but the Tees crossing is a good example. That was originally announced in 2019 to start in 2023 and is now mooted to start in 2025.
I would be interested to be pointed towards things that have actually been done rather than announced.
Isreal is in Europe now? Well I never.Not too sure about that Teesside figure, because stats that I can see, places like Bulgaria, Israel and Greece for instance have figures above anywhere in the U.K.

Seems a strange defence of something too: "We aren't as bad as Bulgaria". No disrespect to Bulgaria but is that what we need to aspire to?
Nothing has moved to Darlington yet.
Net Zero Teesside is a long way from getting sanction.... 18 months at least
Nothing has happened with the 'Freeport'
Usual bluster but the problem is it's bluster that makes headlines and gets votes.
Am I? It was a question. Fine if we are. Just if you look at historical world economies you would probably say a country like the UK shouldn't be aiming for parity with a country like Bulgaria. That's nothing against the fine Bulgarian people just an emotionless and factual comparison of the two economies.I never quite understand the "no disprect too" line..... you are disrespecting the bulgars!
They won't come. The Treasury are desperatly trying to get the staff to move North but they just won't do it.I came across this on linkedin a couple of days ago, doesnt look like the traeasury has moved yet or not many of them anyway, but new jobs even if only 60 are always welcome.
He’s my MP as well.They won't come. The Treasury are desperatly trying to get the staff to move North but they just won't do it.
Tbf there's slightly different cultural interest between Darlo and London.
Sunak is my MP. I will say that for a man who bought the seat and had zero connection to the area he does visit occasionally.
Nobody has ever seen his family up here but at least he shows his face now and than.
I was reading an article from The Echo when it was announced and the general consensus from locals was "Why wouldn't they want to move here?"They won't come. The Treasury are desperatly trying to get the staff to move North but they just won't do it.
