I write to express my indignation and astonishment that plans are afoot to put at risk such an iconic and precious UK heritage site as Stonehenge. It is known and revered world wide and regularly draws visitors to the UK from far away places. I am a member and past President of the Wiltshire Federation Of Womens Institutes (4000 members). 2019 will mark our Federation's Centenary and as part of the celebrations we have already booked to bring our WI members on a guided tour of Stonehenge. Indeed our Wiltshire Federation WI badge has included the Stonehenge image since our inception 100 years ago. This shows just how important Stonehenge is to ordinary people who feel an inherent attachment to a site erected by our ancestors. I urge you to reconsider the plans before it is too late.
