I am very concerned about the proposal for the following reasons:-

  • This is a UNESCO site described as a 'landscape without parallel' and I'm concerned that there will be damage to this World Heritage Site, to its archaeology and its surroundings. The landscape will be detrimentally altered by the proposed new road.
  • The increase in traffic noise by vehicles travelling at greater speeds past the site is unacceptable and will cause damage and disturbance.
  • I'm very concerned about potential damage to the Blick Mead Mesolithic Site and its surroundings; (the advice given by UNESCO's International advisors say that this proposal should not go ahead in its current form - their important advice is being ignored). I'm concerned that there is a lack of options/alternatives in the consultation that would help prevent damage to this important WHS. I'm concerned that rare bird species such as the Great Bustard and the Stone Curlew will be detrimentally disturbed. Annie Wood
