I oppose the plan to take the A303 under the plain near Stonehenge. Stonehenge is itself too important a monument to be put at risk by these works. The plan will also risk the disturbance and destruction of other archeological features which either have not yet been examined, or which bear further examination. While it is true that the traffic on the A303 is usually slow, this is not a good enough reason to put at risk this unique monument, which has been in its position long before we began to impact on the environment with our selfish use of resources. A better response would be to concentrate on improving public transport to reduce the volume of traffic on the A303.
