I am very concerned about the proposals for the A303 at Stonehenge because I feel that the construction of such a dual carriageway and tunnel will do irreversible damage to the landscape of the area, which for many people of the Druid and Pagan communities, is a sacred landscape. As a naturalist, I am also worried that the noise of such construction work would be a potential disturbance to rare birds species, such as the stone curlew. Many British birds are endangered because of lack of habitat, amongst other reasons, and when a natural habitat exists where a rare species is known to live, it should be protected and maintained. We need to do all we can to protect our wildlife.
