I think they'll go for a short, cut-and-cover tunnel.

Yes Baz. But here's what worries me. I lived in a village where a new road was proposed. The Ministry produced various options, including what they said was their preferred one - right through the middle, knocking down dozens of houses, including mine. We the peasantry went to their exhibition and shouted at their smart young officials and said how ridiculous it was and in due course they informed us they'd "listened" to our concerns and instead had decided to bore through the immensely important and historical Wychbury Hill (Morfe will know all about it). In the event, it never happened, but I'm pretty sure their original plan was purely a frightener to make us feel grateful for their true intentions.

The Stonehenge proposals reek of a similar approach. Almost go for cut and cover, allow everyone to go bananas about it and then relent in favour of short bored, and try to suggest they'd done something praiseworthy.

Hands off the Stonehenge World Heritage Site - in all and every respect.
