Of course he can. If we can vote for something as evidently self destructive and unreasonable as brexit, based on a campaign of utter lies, then we could feasibly vote for anything

Good Tees Valley Monitor thread on who has their fingers in the airport business park property developments. You'll never guess in a million years...
Can't for the life of me understand why the Gazette never reports this stuff

Can't wait to see his 'unfeasability study' for a tunnel between Redcar and Hartlepool.
8 miles between them and he thinks the journey could be reduced to a couple of minutes. That's 240mph average speed!! Can't say he lacks ambition, but he is not one of the regions great thinkers.
No wonder the region is skint.

We are only one tweet away from Houtchen announcing the new Tees Monorail.

As much as you may think he’s bent and corrupt, a crossing closer to the mouth of the Tees is required. At rush hour it can take 30+ mins from Wolviston to cross the flyover. Removing Hartlepool & East Cleveland traffic from the flyover could and should make everyones journeys easier & quicker. It would also act as a relief road when the flyover is snarled up by accidents.

Which is why it’s been discussed multiple times over the years but the cost is just too high. He might as well announce a feasibility study into channel tunnel 2 from Teesside to Hamburg. Once it’s built, it would be transformational for the area but the budget will never be there for it. Of course he knows that but he’s banking on the idea winning a few votes and then being discarded after the election.

and here he goes. A new hospital is the cornerstone of his campaign.

This morning I launched my campaign for re-election as your Mayor.
The past 6 years have brought enormous progress across Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool, and we’re once again standing tall with new investment and jobs delivering a brighter future for our region
We’re now doing the things we could only have dreamed of ten years ago, but it’s vital we keep going to make our area even better, as there’s still lots to do.
To do this, we need to a new state of the art hospital to replace North Tees Hospital.
I will not leave this issue to politicians in Westminster, or in our local councils, to fix for any longer.
North Tees Hospital is not fit for purpose and our incredibly hardworking and dedicated NHS staff are being let down by the buildings they have to operate in. Enough is enough.
That’s why, If I’m elected in May, I will build a new hospital to replace North Tees
We have shown that no matter the size of the project, we are up to the task.
We promised to save the airport and we have
We promised to take back control of the Teesworks site and we have
We promised to bring steel making back to Teesside and we are
We promised to deliver real jobs and real investment to create local jobs for local people and we have
Armed with this record of delivery, the next promise I will deliver is a new hospital that local people deserve

How can he say he will build a hospital? He has no powers or funding to do any such thing. The day the likes of him get that power is the day the remnants of the UK finally fall.
The Corney & Musgrave Empire Hospital.
Tariff:
MRI scan £5k
Hip replacement £25k
Heart surgery £250k
Finance available. 10% deposit then pay monthly for 24 months 50% AER
Car parking £10 per hour.
Shameless corrupt grifter.

- He promises it.
- Wins in May.
- Before an autumn GE Sunak announces it from central funding with TVCA contributing a smaller amount, potentially on surrounding infrastructure.
- Tories lose in autumn GE.
- Houchen blames Labour Gov for it not happening.

How many hospitals did the Tory central government promise and how many have been opened
Why would a regional mayor do any better?
Why should the mayoral budget be funding it? Yes it would improve the area but if he can get that budget it should be improving things in his remit

The Wynyard hospital was ear marked for Musgraves land previously. Its needed. Hartlepool and north tees seem to be dropping to bits.

How long ago? Techniques have changed. You don’t need a tunnelling device anymore. Land ownership changes.
Tyne Tunnel 2 was under £300m. A bridge could be doable but it’d have to be a lift bridge/swing bridge. Plenty in Holland we can copy off.

North Tees has been dropping to bits for years. It was in a shocking state 10 years ago when I went in to collect my mother's belongings after she died.
