'What is Rothbury being saved from?'

The Wildlife Trusts are nearly at the total they need to buy the Rothbury estate.

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.
