I am opposed to the loss of a precious cultural asset, the classic view of the stones, at the hands of the very bodies entrusted with its protection.

The distant prospect of the stones from the very spot Turner stood has thrilled countless millions of people, British and overseas, children and adults, for millennia. Its loss, using the patently forced and un-needed excuse that it would unify the landscape, is a bitter reminder of the mis-quoted quotation: “It became necessary to destroy the town to save it.”

I am deeply concerned that precious archaeological matter will be lost forever.
