In my view the proposals for the A303 will cause irreparable damage to Stonehenge which is an ancient site with World Heritage Site status. This and the views of UNESCO should be taken seriously as they are custodians of the world's heritage sites and should not be overruled merely because of a little local, short-term difficulty like traffic congestion. I am particularly concerned that archaeology as yet unknown will the destroyed.

It is also, in my view, wrong that this ancient site should be threatened by what is arguably already old technology. Cars are likely to be on their way out during the next 50 years or so and better transport technology will replace them. It is imperative that a longer term view is taken.
