Reasons why I am objecting to the A303 expressway;
I have concerns about irreversible damage to Blick Mead Mesolithic site and its setting. This site provides evidence (including actual footprints) of how people lived thousands of years ago.
The World Heritage site of Stonehenge and surrounding area is a unique and important landscape, new discoveries about the past are being made all the time. It should be cherished for generations in the future and it's importance not disregarded for the sake of a faster road.
International advisers from UNESCO say that the planned scheme should not go ahead.
There has not been enough investigation or consideration of alternative schemes that would not damage the World Heritage Site.
