Letters to the Editor
This feature has had little use on the News blog site - I suspect partly because comments were not possible since they were stored on this site. The feature has therefore been discontinued. In future, if anyone wants to publish a letter to the editor, it wil be treated/handled as a Press Release - that is, a news item which will be published on the blog site.
