Eype Beach for sale!?

 

I've heard unfounded rumours in the past year about the Greek government planning to sell off some islands to raise money, but this Yahoo story about the sale of Eype Beach is a little too close to home.

I hope the National Trust steps in pronto. Maybe West Dorset District Council needs the money to pay for the building of its extravagant new offices in Charles Street?

I called in at the Council office today (12 Jan) to obtain further information, and was directed to this statement  (http://news.dorsetforyou.com/2011/01/eype-beach/).

Mysterious!

Do you think someone is winding us up?
