- Objection to potential damage to Blick Mead Mesolithic site. The site is still poorly understood. The development will destry the very delicate archaeology there.
- 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?
- I have regularly commuted this road for nearly 40 years, I will be sad to lose the view of the Stones.
- 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.
- UNESCO object to this proposal, I agree with their objections.
