In which way is it becoming a ghost city?
Multiple high end developments such as Acklam Hall (including the refurbishment of the hall itself and the new houses that have been built, the houses that were built on Church lane The Storey development at Low Lane
The houses at Low Lane for a 4 bed detached start at £244,000 the ones on Church Lane were up starting at £350,000 and Acklam Hall starting at £245,000
Church Lane sold out in two weeks, Acklam hall has perhaps three properties left
c) The Baker Street development, and also thriving micro pubs that are springing up. You have major retailers in the high street such as Debenhams,House of Fraser, and there is a fast growing independent retail scene also
There is a huge amount of regeneration work currently going on in Middlesbrough, including the work currently on going in Grovehill
Not sure how it's a ghost city?

And what about the MP who said last year that people should just leave the Boro? Let it rot was his remarks if I remember correctly. Sure there's regeneration but who's benefit is it for? Sunderland and Hartlepool. Marinas, Expensive blocks of flats to name but two examples? I don't see any sign of regeneration in Peterlee, Easington, Horden, Easington Lane, Haswell, Shotton, Weatly Hill, South Hetton. These are all towns round me and as I've said have lost everything. Where's the investment in these towns? These regenerations you are talking about only benefit the upper class and rich, not the likes of you and me. Maybe I should have said ghost town as regards the working class or poorer class families. I stand by my statement.

Both normal reactions to a slowing economy although the second of the two is surprising from a Conservative and shows I reckon just how centrist some of the modern Conservative Party is. |
hen we are trying to negotiate a good deal with the EU I'm not sure lowering Corporation Tax is the right move at this point. Later on, yes it would be great but the EU will see it as the first move in negotiations. The second point I agree with however, £100 million more has also been promised per week to the NHS. Where's the money coming from? I thought we were telling lies when we said the NHS would benefit from leaving the EU financially regardless of the amount quoted?
