It hardly needs saying but traffic through Avebury is reaching catastrophic proportions - especially during the rush hour when the noise is deafening and you take your life in your hands just trying to cross from one side of the circle to the other.
If the sheer volume of traffic wasn't bad enough the mega-trucks now going through is REALLY scary! Got a feeling that problems with the Cove were caused by vibration from heavy vehicles and I wonder how long it's going to be before one of those big suckers takes out the Diamond Stone. This isn't about speed restrictions through Avebury or pedestrian crossings (non-existent at present) it's about safety, conservation and restoring a degree of tranquillty at a World Heritage/Sacred Site.
There've been suggestions for an Avebury Bypass before but maybe now is the time to re-kindle the idea before it's to late.
