Heritage must be valued
• IN your two depressing articles about Camden’s pillaged heritage, we read that Camden’s historic horse tunnels are at risk from developers and that the 1873 home of the great French poets Verlaine and Rimbaud has been auctioned to a developer (Author joins campaign to save historic horse tunnels, Speculator snaps up poets’ house, Feb 8).
Property is now king, and nothing, not even our identity, our heritage, our children’s education, campaigns by educators and artists or tourism stands in its way.
Why can’t London honour two of France’s greatest poets?

• NEWS of the threat to local historic horse tunnels in Chalk Farm is horrendous, but not surprising.
Many of us have become used to the negligent Town Hall planners’ decisions.
Often local opinion can never quite decide whether it is a case of conspiracy or mistake that has landed us with such extensive and pressing planning problems borough-wide.
Has not the time come for our political masters to commission an audit to discover why we are afflicted with a seriously inadequate service?
Has the time for dismissing the guilty arrived?
