No it's not just you.

Being cynical it strikes me this just might be a bit of window dressing related to the proposed closure of the A303 at Stonehenge.

This:
"This would protect the archaeology, enhance the setting of the West Kennet Avenue and the Henge, restore their interrelationship and provide a good quality walking environment "
..... sounds awfully like the "restoring the integrity of the central area of Stonehenge" guff currently squirting out of every official orifice.

Anyway, it won't happen. It's something they can amuse themselves with for a while before having to quietly shelve it!

Having just walked down there I personally would love to see the road closed. It even cuts between the stones. Closure would open the area up and improve the atmosphere of the very impressive Avenue
