I remember when one could wander at will among the stones at Stonehenge and realise that it was a privilege to do so. I know that time cannot return, but the site, in protecting it, has been 'sanitised' and made much less impressive than it was (though the visitor will be much better informed!) This current proposal will further damage an area already far too damaged by the provisions of the "Stonhenge Experience". I would favour a scheme that diverted the A303 right away and oput of sight of Stonehenge and retained the present road as a minor single-carriageway road with a 20mph limit - i.e.making it as unattractive as possible, so that it fulfilled only a local function. Access to the visitor centre should NOT be possible from the old road and alternative access be provided approaching from south or west only.
