  1. Objection to potential damage to Blick Mead Mesolithic site. The site is still poorly understood. The development will destry the very delicate archaeology there.
  2. I object to the lack of alternative options which would avoid the site. Several alternative proposals have been put forward in the past, why are these missing from the consultation?
  3. I have regularly commuted this road for nearly 40 years, I will be sad to lose the view of the Stones.
  4. Why have the Highways Agency not considered simply dualling the road by covering the archaeology with material (Soil from another site) and laying a road on top of the undisturbed archaeology beneath? The road is "new" in terms of the time frame of this site. Leaving the archaeology undisturbed underneath a dual carriageway preserves it for future generations.
  5. UNESCO object to this proposal, I agree with their objections.
