PD Ports hits out at 'regrettable' legal battle with Tees Valley mayor
A dispute between one of Teesside’s largest employers and the area’s mayor has ratcheted up with accusations that the politician is risking public money in a legal battle.
PD Ports has been in dispute with Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen over access to the South Gare area, with the battle set to come to court next year. The ports firm said it was “regrettable” that access to South Gare remains disputed.
A legal case has been brought by South Tees Development Corporation, headed by Mr Houchen, over the access. The dispute comes after the mayor’s efforts to buy PD Ports last year founded when its Canadian owners Brookfield Asset Management called off plans to sell the company.
