Peter, I think it was last year that you posted on the Friends of Thornborough list about Dorchester. I think at that time you were making the point that there are other sites of similar importance that are equally under threat.
It was the previous year that I suggested you get involved with the campaign to save Thornborough, If I remember correctly you declined saying you did not like to work with campaign groups and would campaign regarding Thornborough in your own way.
I'm therefore concerned when you say that the campaign to save Thornborough is putting Dorchester under increased threat and I would like to get to a better understanding of your reasoning.
Regarding Dorchester, I'm about to launch a new online magazine called World Heritage Alert! We would welcome an article from yourself regarding the threat to Dorchester.
As you may be aware, I do not believe that any campaign to save a heritage site can work without making as much information available to the public as possible. If Dorchester is under threat but the information available regarding this threat is minimal, its not fair to blame this possible loss on other campaigns that are actively raising awareness.
