The proposed tunnel and dual carriageway are positioned partly within the World Heritage Site. This is unsatisfactory. The tunnel should enter from the East as near to the Amesbury roundabout as possible and exit West onto a low level bridge over the winterbourne bypassing Winterbourne Stoke about 1/4 mile to the north of the village,rejoining the existing A303Stonehenge where it is already dualled. Importantly, this route would be for fast through-traffic ,the existing A360 ,the existing A303 and Longbarrow Roundabout would remain more or less as they are,thus allowing access to Winterbourne Stoke and saving the cost of an elaborate new interchange to replace Longbarrow Roundabout. Traditionalists who want to see Stonehenge at sunset would still be able to do so and more importantly the younger generation could be introduced to that wonderful view without always having to go through the tunnel.
