If anyone can explain how the decision is consistent with the criteria for scheduling or protecting as laid out as their duty in the Act then a small prize is available...

I suppose there's as much chance of THEM explaining it as there is for them explaining the statutory justification for their support for the Stonehenge scheme and the Silbury capsule.

And what is all this stuff about it costing £6 million to abandon the road, but £400K to build it??
Instead of being ridiculous and saying 'oh it would cost 110 million pounds to build a tunnel under it', why don't they just - doh - divert the road. You know, in a BEND round it. Is that so difficult and is that really going to cost them so much money to buy the field next door.
It's just pathetic. Actually, perhaps the best place for the ribbon is back under the ground, where it can wait until somebody sensible and who actually gives a monkeys wants to smash the road up and look at it. Tsk.
