Moan about feeble National Trust (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lament

'moan' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'feeble national trust' is the wordplay.
'feeble' becomes 'lame' ('lame' can be a synonym of 'feeble').
'national trust' becomes 'nt'.
'lame'+'nt'='LAMENT'

'about' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lament that I've seen before include "Keen" , "Elegy" , "Express disappointment" , "Show of sorrow" , "Sad song" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
