I wish to register as an Interested Party with respect to the proposed changes to the A303 in the vicinity of Stonehenge. I am a British Citizen and resident of the South West, wishing to represent my personal views.
I am concerned about the possibility of permanent damage to the World Heritage Site (WHS), in terms of cultural heritage, archaeology and the setting of the various ancient places. I am also concerned about implications for wildlife and biodiversity, and the possibility of increased traffic noise within the WHS.
I am proud that we have such a WHS in Britain and I think it is important that we listen to UNESCO's advisers when they recommend that the scheme should not go ahead in its present form.
I believe it is regrettable that the consultation so far has lacked alternative options that would not damage the WHS.
