Voters take to the polls on Thursday in the Tees Valley to select their mayor, choosing between incumbent Conservative Ben Houchen, Labour’s Chris McEwan, and Liberal Democrat Simon Thorley. Recent polling saw the candidates at 47, 47 and 6 per cent, respectively.
Lord Houchen is seeking a third term in the office he’s held since its establishment in 2017, overseeing the Tees Valley Combined Authority , campaigning largely on his track record of delivery in his seven years in the job. Labour’s Chris McEwan has proposed taking public control of the region’s buses, similar to Labour mayors Andy Burnham in Greater Manchester and Tracy Brabin in West Yorkshire.
The football club’s owner Steve Gibson, a former ally of Lord Houchen’s, announced his support for Mr McEwan this week, while strongly criticising Lord Houchen and the agreement which saw 90 per cent of the Teesworks public-private joint venture handed over to private interests. Mr McEwan’s slogan, “A mayor you can trust”, could be seen as a reference to the government review into the governance of Teesworks which criticised a lack of transparency and gave 28 recommendations to be implemented.
