I am greatly concerned that the current A303 road proposals will have a damaging effect on the Stonehenge ancient monument because:
UNESCO’s international advisers have said that the scheme should not go ahead in its present form.
The irreparable damage to the World Heritage Site, its setting and the archaeology, which has been described by UNESCO as a “unparalleled landscape”.
Concern about damage to the Blick Mead Mesolithic site, and its setting.
The lack of alternative options in the consultation, that would not damage the World Heritage Site.
The increased and therefore more intrusive noise generated by the faster traffic.
The loss of the view from the road and the subsequent need to pay to see the Stones in future.
The disturbance of rare bird species (such as the Stone Curlew and Great Bustard).
I very much hope that an alternative solution is found that will not adversely affect the ancient monument and its surroundings.
