As someone who frequently uses the A303 to travel between Kent and Devon, I have, over the years, resigned myself to a slow journey on this particular stretch of road. However, I would rather the delays and traffic jams than see the wonderful landscape, (particularly the view of Stonehenge despite it looking so forlorn these days) on either side of the road ruined forever by an ill-thought out 'express highway' plan. I can only add my voice to what I am sure are thousands of comments on the damage to a World Heritage Site; disturbance to the wildlife, particularly rare birds; and the loss of critically important archaeological sites en route. Where are the alternative options? Please concentrate on considering those rather than desecrate forever what is all ready there.
