The most succinct way of representing the petition of complaints aims is to use it's words here following. There will be: Irreparable damage to the WHS, its archaeology and setting, described by UNESCO as a ‘landscape without parallel’. Further to this UNESCO’s international advisers say the scheme should not go ahead in its present form, by reason of Concerns about damage to Blick Mead Mesolithic site and its setting. It appears also that there has been a lack of alternative options in consultation that would not damage the World Heritage Site. In addition to these things but no less importantly there is very likely to be:

  1. Loss of the view from the road and need to pay to see the Stones in future
  2. Disturbance of rare bird species (Stone Curlew and Great Bustard)
  3. Increased noise from faster traffic

Personally I feel that the memory of the countless millions of souls that pervade Stonehenge should be respected and their rest be undisturbed.
