'What is Rothbury being saved from?'

Your Voice

Available for over a year

The Wildlife Trusts say they're now in 'touching distance’ of the £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 £5.5 million and they're now about £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.
