I am concerned if it is the case that the decision to proceed with this work is being taken without approval from UNESCO. Since one stated objective for the work is to restore the World Heritage Site towards its original setting, then risking the loss of WHS status, if this is the case, would be counter-productive.

I am also concerned that the plans for Countess Junction are not sufficiently sympathetic, either aesthetically or acoustically, to the surroundings and the fact that the A303 effectively divides Amesbury into two pieces. The indicative drawings in the consultation document show no acoustic measures at the Countess fly-over and did not satisfactorily represent the proposal as it now stands.
