I object strongly to the building of the building of a Stonehenge tunnel. There are viable, cheaper to build, alternative road improvement routes available that would not cause irreparable damage to the World Heritage Site. UNESCO is against the siting of the proposed tunnel, and how it would compromise a protected landscape. The inevitable change to the water table in proximity to the tunnel would cause serious, irreversible damage to the organic remains at the Mesolithic site of Blick Mead. In this archaeology rich landscape, there are likely to be other, as yet undiscovered, sites whose record would be destroyed in the same way. The tunnel would take away the free view of the stones at Stonehenge to the travelling public. This in itself would be a disgrace.
