Brilliant news! Just heard that the Dept of Transport have approved closing the bit of A344 road that runs right by Stonehenge. So happy!
I can't quite believe it, to be honest! Great news!

What a reversal of fortune after seemingly months of negative stories. :)

Slap a gate up at Airman's Corner and you can charge everyone going anywhere near the place. No more happy moments stolen parking on a verge down the road, running back and squashing your face against the links of the fence.

Might not be like that. But frankly it wouldn't surprise me hugely.
