And it says the visitor centre is thus shelved too. But "It could also jeopardise the status of Stonehenge as a World Heritage site, awarded by Unesco in 1986. At the time, the United Nations cultural body told the government that it must improve access and take nearby roads away from the site. Unesco will consider delisting Stonehenge at its next meeting in February."
now that can't be very good can it?
Although, they've been saying a similar thing about Bath, because of some planned flats / casino etc, and losing its status would obviously be considered highly embarrassing - so maybe such a threat could act as a bit of a 'stick' to sort Stonehenge out??

Oh, I think that's just Robert Key, MP, being silly again. He's been saying it for ages as he wanted the road built. Haven't seen anyone else agreeing with him.

It doesn't quite fit with the fact that ICOMOS - UK, UNESCO's key appointed advisors, have been totally opposed to the scheme does it?
