Hello, The statements below, to my mind, have not been fully thought out. • Permanent damage to the World Heritage Site, its archaeology and setting. We're are constantly developing new ways to ascertain our ancestry but this will destroy any chance of further understanding of our past at any future date.
• UNESCO's advisers say the scheme should not go ahead in its present form. Why are we not listening to them? And why do we want to lose UNESCO status when this brings in tourists?
• Concerns about damage to Blick Mead Mesolithic site and its setting. • Lack of alternative options that would not damage the World Heritage Site in the consultation. Highways England haven't done enough to seek alternative routes, or even why change it at all? Make a bypass elsewhere.
• Loss of view from the road and need to pay to see the Stones. As a member of the NT - I find it disturbing that it will be hidden away from all.
• Disturbance of rare bird species (Stone Curlew and Great Bustard). As a member of RSPB, again this is not necessary.
• increased noise from more and faster traffic. This landscape is ancient and therefore we shouldn't spoil the setting for anyone who wishes to explore with the noise from essentially a 70mph road with extra lanes.
