Transparency is needed on Teesside to avoid waste of public money - Yorkshire Post Letters

Your editorial Comment today (17/05), on the apparent murky dealings in Teesside, is a model for what quality journalism can still offer in this complex world of multiple media outlets. You make the case for transparency with concise, yet incisive language.

I have recently become a subscriber to The YP, long may your commitment to investigative journalism continue. It is a vital part of any liberal democracy, especially when other arms of the system are not functioning in the public interest.
