Following a Public Inquiry in 2004 into proposals for improving the A303 past Stonehenge, it was recommended that a 2.1 km long bored tunnel should be built to remove the effects of the road and traffic from Britain's most famous prehistoric location which is now a World Heritage Site. However, the costs for this project have risen significantly and Government Ministers are calling for an alternative lower cost scheme. A public consultation exercise has been launched in order to identify an acceptable lower cost scheme. Many of us feel that any delays in improving access to Stonehenge, its landscape and environment should not be delayed by Government indecision and perceived prohibitive costs of a tunnel for the A303. In January, the Department of Transport launched a Public Consultation to review the scheme and replies are required before the 24th April 2006. As a response, we believe that the following proposal has merit. We publish it here for your information and comment.
