I object to the damage to the setting, the flora and fauna and the archaeology that will be incurred to the World Heritage Site around Stonehenge by the work on this proposed new road. I object to the result that Stonehenge will no longer be viewable by travellers on the A303 as it is today and that it will require payment to see the Stones in the future. This represents a huge loss of our traditional and historical rights in relation to the Stones. I object because UNESCO's World Heritage Committee is unhappy with the proposal. I object because the estimated costs have risen hugely and are not an acceptable use of public money when there is no benefit and, indeed, will result in more harm than good to Stonehenge, the countryside, homes and communities nearby and visitors.
