An e-mail from Matthew Atkinson

We have received an e-mail from Matthew Atkinson stating:
"this has come to my attension because certian facts in this piece are wrong".

The text has therefore been removed until we are made aware which facts, if any, were wrong. We would of course correct them if this turns out to be necessary. In the meantime we may decide to put up some photographs and extracts from correspondence in support of our experience of the actions of The National Trust.

Interestingly, as a result of the article that was previously here, several people have been in touch to say that what we'd written about The National Trust's approach reminded them of their experiences. Like them, we'd not have believed it if it hadn't been happening before our own eyes!
