Guardian article on second homes … with the obligatory disrespectful headline

I have just had my attention brought to an article on second home ownership in Cornwall, which has just been posted on the Guardian website.

It was written by a man called Gavin Knight, for whom I did a telephone interview, and a short quote is included within the article. There are a range of comments from a number of individuals, and it is quite interesting to see how varied they are.

It is also fair to say that my views and those of the local estate agent are very, very different.

I am however extremely disappointed by the opening paragraph and the associated headline for the article, which reads: “English Out: Cornwall’s fightback against second homes” and does not really reflect what is being said in the article.

But if you want to read the article, it can be found at:
