YOUR report about the forthcoming County Durham Monopoly game (Echo, April 2) concentrated on the most expensive and prestigious site – Mayfair/Durham Cathedral – and, of course, Fleet Street/The Northern Echo.

Perhaps it would be of more interest to know what is intended to replace Old Kent Road and Whitechapel Road, the cheapest squares.

I would not wish to cast aspersions on any town or village, but would rather suggest County Hall for one, and perhaps an Arriva bus garage as the other.

Events of late link them and, although far from cheap in cost, both are low in value for money.
