Letter: Save our sites

From Mr Edwin K. Townsend-Coles

Sir; I refer to the sale of Land's End and John O'Groats ("Landmarks for sale at pounds 5m", 8 January). Is not this an opportunity for the National Trust to set up a public appeal to secure these landmarks once and for all for the nation? If we can spend more than pounds 1m in one week on lottery tickets, surely it should be possible to raise the mere pounds 5m for those heritage sites?

I am,

Yours etc,

Edwin K. Townsend-Coles
