I think this scheme desecrates an ancient sacred landscape, the tunnel will further damage important archeological artefacts and the iconic view of Stonehenge from the road will be forever lost. UNESCO advise is that a complete rethink is in order, and we have already seen wanton destruction by surveying engineers demonstrating that Highways England do not understand the nature of the landscape at all. There are other Mesolithic sites in the vicinity which are being ignored in this planning and will be damaged or destroyed. These plans need to be put on hold until more vital archeological work has been done and advise from experts heeded rather than ignored in the interests of money saving on one hand and money making by Stonehenge paying tourism on the other. In short it’s a catastrophic disaster of a plan and needs to be completely re thought out by disinterested experts.
