This proposal, to which UNESCO themselves object, will cause irreversible damage to the archeology and landscape of a world heritage site. I am particularly concerned about the damage to the Blick Mead site and it's unique archeological records. I also feel that the loss of the view of the stones from the road is completely contrary to heritage polices which aim to increase public access to heritage sites - particularly egregious given that this is perhaps the most iconic and important heritage site in these Islands. It is unacceptable that, in future we will need to pay even to catch a glimpse of the stones. Please do not allow this ill-considered scheme to go ahead. Proper, thorough consultation is now required to arrive at an acceptable solution which will allow appropriate access now and above all preserve this site and its extraordinary archeological riches for future generations to learn from and enjoy.
