English Heritage Meeting Decision on Future of Stonehenge


STATEMENT - THE FUTURE OF THE STONEHENGE ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
At their meeting on 29th and 30th June, English Heritage Commissioners discussed the future
of the Stonehenge Environmental Improvement Project following the Government's decision
on 17 June to withdraw Government funding
Commissioners decided that over the Summer/Autumn, English Heritage should continue to
explore alternative funding from non-Government sources. In the meantime, as the planning
process is so nearly completed, the organisation will use money raised from private sources
to complete the final few planning stages, without making irreversible financial commitment
to the scheme's future.
Completing the planning stages ensures a tidy and cost-efficient break-point between
preparation and implementation of the scheme. It also allows more time to explore
alternative funding. Having worked for so many years to achieve the desperately needed
transformation of Stonehenge, Commissioners are very anxious that every possible avenue is
pursued.........
