Mr.Key says...
"Because the tunnel is abandoned, planning permission falls on the proposed new English Heritage visitors' centre. The £24m promised by the Heritage Lottery Fund will no doubt go to the 2012 Olympic Games instead.
"The Government must still honour its promise to UNESCO to close the A334 past the stones and upgrade the very poor visitor facilities.
"They must also upgrade the A303 and install electronic traffic management. They must build the Winterbourne Stoke bypass and the flyover at Countess roundabout in Amesbury."
Calling for the setting up of a stakeholder task force, Mr Key added: "The Government should consider the option proposed ten years ago of a new visitors' centre and car park in the dip in the downs 1km to the west of the stones, accessed from the existing A344 from Airman's Corner."
