If anyone here is a NT Member you can vote at next month's AGM to reverse its "pivotal" role in this plan.

Can't understand why NT and English Heritage seem to want this .

ITV covered this lunchtime on the local news from a 'copter. During that time about half a dozen vehicles passed by. Waste of our money just for tail-backs in the summer months! Take another route or sit around for 30 mins - we've never been delayed longer than that!

I'm with Heritage Journal/Tony Robinson on this and always have been. I am an accidental member of NT (membership given to me as a gift). I also live quite near to NT HQ so will go to the AGM and vote as you suggest :(

Hi again, have just been looking at the NT AGM 2017 documents online. It is possible to vote online for any members who can't get to the AGM - providing they do so before Friday 13th October. It is also worth reading the AGM booklet before voting - it sounds obvious, but wouldn't want to vote the wrong way in error.

Otherwise the AGM will be held at 10.30am on Saturday 21st October 2017.
Venue: STEAM Museum, Swindon, Wilts,

I've just seen the member's resolution to stop 'trail' hunting on NT land failed by just 299 votes - so I will not be renewing my membership. How they are willing to compromise the integrity of the organisation by allowing hunting on their land is something of a puzzle.

Haven't yet heard the results of the A303 at Stonehenge vote.

Hi Nigel, I didn't get along to the AGM yesterday (life got in the way) but DID vote on line. Very sad both the motions were voted down by small margins. I knew the outcome of the 'hunting on NT property' yesterday and am grateful the Heritage Action blog for this update today. I will not be renewing my NT membership.
