Having lived in Wiltshire for 40 years I care passionately about its historic sites and its beautiful landscapes, and their significance in providing us with evidence of how past generations from long ago lived, worked and worshipped.
I believe that this scheme would cause irreparable damage to the landscape surrounding Stonehenge and this unique World Heritage site could be lost to the world forever.
It would also lead to higher noise levels from faster traffic passing by, thus spoiling the impact of the peaceful atmosphere surrounding Stonehenge.
UNESCO have described Stonehenge as a 'landscape without parallel' and it would be a tragedy if this was impaired in this way purely for the purpose of the building of a road.
There are rare bird species such as the Stone Curlew and the Great Bustard whose environment would be disturbed if this scheme were to go ahead.
