Unfortunately we have no control over comments - unless there is swearing or whatever. On our Facebook page there were a few negative comments but the overwhelming majority were people genuinely interested and happy to see the pictures.
In my experience of digital journalism, you could give away £1m to a local charity and someone would still have something negative to say.
I will have to decline the offer I'm afraid, like others have said there's not too much in it for us. I hope you get a local explorer to do the article, like i say i feel this will benefit you and others involved..sorry i cant be of any more help.
