I wish to express my interest against a dual carriageway across the World Heritage site, therefore causing massive damage to the site, its archaeology and setting as well as to any nearby habitats of already rare bird species (Stone Curlew and Great Bustard).
Further to this, UNESCO's advisers say the scheme should not go ahead in its present form. Amendments must be made to allow the absolute least amount of damage to the site itself. One could also add that there may also be damage caused to the to Blick Mead Mesolithic site and its setting.
Why must a dual carriageway be built? Is the question of maintenance, money, tourism? The real reason for such an expansion must be questioned before the plans are finalised.
