Blimey Nigel, you beat me to it there. Typed the following before going to bed last night intending to post it this morning -

Picking up on baza's post on the homepage. The Wiltshire Times reports that, "...Ruth Kelly, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government stated that the scheme (plans for the Stonehenge visitor centre) can only go ahead once the Government has approved the published A303 roads scheme."

Ehm... and when will that approval be likely? I smells a rat I does.

Well, last Autumn. A little well informed bird whispered to me that they might bottle it once again. £9.3 billion to be found for the Olympics, Public Spending Review predicted to impose 5-7% cuts across all Whitehall Departments... so a further "review" might be on the cards ?

I've seen Yes Minister, I know how it works - two departments, one cannot act unless the other acts, and they are totally unconncted so no action can be taken but it's nobody's fault.
