Sir – It would be heartwarming indeed to think that Ruskin College’s motives for hoping to build 200 houses by the northern bypass is motivated by a concern for the homeless, although living by a noisy, dangerous and unhealthy road with no facilities or community is hardly a socialist idyll. However, given that Ruskin College has been ‘selling off the family silver’ for some time now, including the John Ruskin-approved central site, it is more realistic to assume the motivation is purely financial.
