'What is Rothbury being saved from?'

Your Voice

Available for over a year

The Wildlife Trusts say they're now in 'touching distance鈥� of the 拢30 million total they needed to buy all of Northumberland's Rothbury estate. They've got just over a month to go before the deadline for finding the full sum, but thanks to some big pledges totalling more than 拢5.5 million and they're now about 拢4 million short. It looks more likely than ever this is going to happen, but not everyone thinks that's such a good thing. Our reporter Louise Jackson's been there to hear from both sides of the debate.
