Letter: Kept in the dark over monuments
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: There has been much comment in the public press (report, 27 October; letters, 28 October) about the proposals announced by the chairman of English Heritage on Monday last, in particular the new policy concerning the future management of a large proportion of the nation's Guardianship monuments.
As members of the Ancient Monuments Advisory Committee, one of the statutory committees set up to advise the Commission of English Heritage, we write to you to indicate our own concern about these proposals, over which we had not been consulted. We have requested a meeting with the commission and hope that these policies can be further considered before they are implemented.
Yours faithfully,
RENFREW OF KAIMSTHORN, D. BAKER, D. CROSSLEY, B. CUNLIFFE, M. FULFORD, J. GRAHAM-CAMPBELL, T. HASSALL, A. LAWSON, I. LONGWORTH
