HEREFORD’S Rotherwas Ribbon is worth preserving – and that’s official.

The government response to a petition started on the Prime Minister’s website to save it states the monument is a “significant find, worthy of being fully recorded for future research and of being protected in-situ.”

It continues to say that the interest generated by the discovery in 2007 of the neolithic site is a vivid testament to the value people attach to their cultural heritage.

“The government... remains committed to the principle that there should be a presumption in favour of the physical preservation of nationally important archaeological remains (whether scheduled or not) that are affected by proposed development...”


Not much wriggle out room in that, next time one of our, "...nationally important archaeological remains (whether scheduled or not) are affected by proposed development.”
