So when push comes to shove, who actually has the last say on this, us or UNESCO?


Us. And this bit of 'us' i.e. many eminent voices in the archaeology world plus also my own small voice - says leave the A303 unchanged if widening into a dual carriageway OR building the short tunnel option in anyway impacts on the Stonehenge WHS - which of course it will.

What was your definition of 'Us'.


The government. For what it's worth leave it as it is now as the sensible people from down here in the west take alternative routes depending on the time of the year. That'll save us a few pounds!
