THIS SCHEME HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DESTROY THE SERENITY OF AN ANCIENT MONUMENT SUCH AS STONEHENGE, A WORLD HERITAGE SITE. IT IS HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT THAT THE SCHEME IS VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED BY ORGANISATIONS SUCH AS UNESCO.
IT ALSO RUNS CLOSE TO AREAS WHICH ARE INHABITED BY RE-INTRODUCED SPECIES SUCH AS THE GREAT BUSTARD.
THIS COUNTRY CANNOT AND MUST NOT CONTINUE TO BUILD MORE AND MORE ROADS TO COUNTER TRAFFIC CONGESTION. IT IS ABOUT TIME WE COUNTERED ROAD CONGESTION BY IMPROVING THE ALTERNATIVES, SUCH AS PUBLIC TRANSPORT FOR LONGER JOURNEYS AND WALKING AND CYCLING FOR SHORTER JOURNEYS. IN ANY CASE, NUMEROUS STUDIES HAVE PROVED THAT NEW ROADS MERELY CREATE EVEN MORE TRAFFIC. SURELY THE LAST 50 YEARS OF CONSTANT NEW ROADS HAVE PROVED THIS BEYOND ALL DOUBT, OTHERWISE THE EXISTING ROAD SYSTEM WOULD NOT BE SO CONGESTED.
