Representation by Avebury Parish Council (Avebury Parish Council)

- Members of the public/businesses
Avebury Parish Council (APC) has an interest in understanding possible risks to the site and village through the unintended diversion of would-be visitors to Stonehenge, discouraged as they may well be by extensive building works, and in working closely with Highways England to calibrate and manage those risks appropriately.
APC has made representations along these lines in earlier consultations and wants to maintain a watching brief on works as they develop.
Avebury is an open access site and receives upwards of 350,000 visitors per year. Exceeding that number without additional resources would place severe strain on both the site and the village.
