I first visited Stonehenge in 1958 and have always loved the site, so I am very concerned that the plan regarding the A303 Expressway would cause huge and irreparable damage. Indeed the site might well lose World Heritage Status. That's serious. UNESCO's advisers recommend that the plan should not go ahead in its present form.
The plan would also disturb wildlife, including the rare Great Bustard and Stone Curlew, not least because of increased noise from faster traffic. I am familiar with the A303 and clearly something needs to be done to solve the problem of bottleneck on this road, but not at the expense of the wonderful, unique, World Heritage Site!
