I wish to object to the proposed A303 Stonehenge Expressway in the strongest possible terms. UNESCO have described this World Heritage Site as a 'landscape without parallel' and its international advisers have expressed opposition to the scheme in its present incarnation. Whilst there are several reasons why the scheme should not go ahead, UNESCO's condemnation of it alone, in my view, is sufficient justification for it to be cancelled. In short, the eternal value of the Stonehenge site transcends any 21st century part-time traffic congestion problems and under no circumstances should it be 'trashed' in the quest for a short-term fix.
