My representation is as follows on the grounds of objection due to:
Wildlife: Rare bird species such as the Stone Curlew and Great Bustard will be displaced or affected and at risk from the noise of increased and faster traffic. Coralling people into a World Heritage Site to pay to 'see' the Stones is not in the interests of neo-druids or atheists alike, nor is it something that should be commercialised. It's a bit like making Christians pay to enter church. Stonehenge has been described as a 'landscape without parallel' by UNESCO, why bring in the diggers to destroy the surrounding landscape, which is funerary and dating back to 3000 BC? Desecration! UNESCO’s international advisers say the scheme should not go ahead in its present form and I agree.
