I am very concerned about the proposed dual carriageway expressway past Stonehenge. This would potentially damage the World Heritage Site and the archaeological findings below Stone Henge. The landscape too will be damaged. This is a World Heritage Site and UNESCO have already stated that this scheme should not proceed. There are other issues such as the rare birds in the area which could be impacted. The other potential issue is the noise and vehicle emissions. There are other alternatives that could be implemented. Highways England seem intent on destroying our heritage and land. This is also an issue with, for example, the A358 where they have not considered damage to Ancient Woodland and animals, not to mention people’s livelihoods! Highways England need to be challenged on this before our wonderful country and heritage are consigned, literally, to the past!
