As an individual and a citizen of the British Isles I am shocked and concerned by the proposals around the Stonehenge site. This landmark is a true and irreplaceable representation of our nation's heritage; an outstanding icon of world history and civilisation as we understand it today.
It's placement and standing in the landscape is an incredible asset to the nation's tourism and culture and should be prioritised over all the considerations in the local area. To undermine or infringe upon the site's footprint and immediate surroundings in any way is cultural vandalism and a short sighted disservice to the nation's assets.
There is more than enough space to rebuild roads away from the site, preserve and enhance the experience of Stonehenge for British citizens and international visitors alike for years to come.
Any compromise of the sanctity of the Stonehenge site for the sake of convenience or short term profit would be of small benefit and overall a catastrophe for the nation's pride.
Please reconsider the plans and protect the site and experience of Stonehenge.
Yours sincerely,
Josh Knowles
