I strongly object to this DCO planning application, the tunnel will cause untold damage to archaeology in this area which has been inhabited since the Mesolithic Period, Wildlife in the area which include endangered species such as Stone Curlews, Short Eared Owls and the recently reintroduced Bustard, which are now starting to breed, use this habitat, are at threat. Stonehenge for myself and thousands of others, is a sacred place, a temple and a place to honour our ancestors, we view the land as sacred and to bore a tunnel through the heart of the landscape is an abomination, druids, pagans, travellers and astronomers, the general public, and people of all persuasions, use this area, all this will be denied, if a tunnel is built. A more cost effective way to remove congestion on the A303 would be a bypass at the southern route, thus enabling a free view of Stonehenge to all that use the A303.
