I object to the proposed A303 Stonehenge Expressway for the following reasons:-

  1. It would do irreparable damage to the Stonehenge World Heritage Site (WHS), its archaeology and its setting. UNESCO describe this as a 'landscape without parallel'.
  2. It is the opinion of UNESCO's international advisors that the scheme should not go ahead in its present form.
  3. It would also damage the Blick Mead mesolithic site and its setting.
  4. No alternative options whcih would no damage the World Heritage Site have been proposed in the consultation or fully considered.
  5. The experience of visiting the Stones will be damaged by the increased noise from faster traffic.
  6. The future need to pay to see the Stones is wrong for a feature of such national significance.
  7. Rare bird species (stone curlew and great bustard in particular) would be disturbed.
