Why would you want to even remotely risk potential damage to a World Renowned, First Class Heritage Site ? Surely this will risk not only freedom of access to people from across the world but also loss of income to local establishments, Eateries, B& B's , local Pubs, Shops to name but a few that must surely benefit financially from year round visitors to Stonehenge ! Why potential damage ? Constant vehicular traffic nearer to the Site will cause vibratinary movement that will eventually, and possibly sooner than we can evaluate cause the Stones to loosen and fall ! I have seen similar events take place here in B.C. where a Brit by Birth has chosen to make her home for the last 30 years, with Ancient Trees ! That's right 3-400 year old Trees toppled by an increase in traffic that was rerouted closer to them, have had their roots loosened and toppled over ! I urge you therefore to reconsider your proposal for roads closer to Stonehenge and let this World Renowned Monument rest as it has, where it is, for thousands of years !
