More flights I READ with interest the arguments for and against even more public money being pumped in to keeping Teesside airport open. “Authority to spend extra £10m on Teesside Airport” (D&S Times, July 2). There is however an elephant in the room, not being mentioned by either Mr Houchen or his Labour counterpart. My question to both parties is this: Given that all political sides agree climate change is the greatest imminent threat to mankind, how does airport expansion with more, not fewer flights, reduce CO2 emissions, as is the government's stated aim?
Richard Baker, Middleton One Row.

While some council members were opposed, I feel those in favour should be ashamed. There are other more deserving local causes, infrastructure and services. My local councillor is informed of my opinion.

I am puzzled why after 11 years of Conservative government and several years of having Tory MPs and a Tory mayor, people in this region are still flocking to the Conservatives at the ballot box.
Andrew Welford, Scaling, Saltburn. THE new Tory battle cry appears to be "Time for Change". Change from what? In my 70-plus years nearly two thirds has been under a Tory government including the last 11 years.
