I believe that the current project plan should be rejected owing to a combination of: a) the expected damage to the Stonehenge Landscape, the consequent risk to WHS status, the consequent long term damage to Wiltshire and UK tourism income, and damage to the UK’s reputation for leadership in protecting world heritage. b) the destruction of archaeology for all time, and future generation’s ability to give greater insight into the prehistory of the site.

I believe that the southern route should be revisited. It avoids the WHS areas completely. In my view the case for rejecting it was weak (as I understood it, minutes longer travel time, more landowners involved).
