What is this, it makes no sense. Salisbury's nowhere near the A303, it's miles south. It'd be 10s of miles of ploughing a huge road through the Wiltshire countryside and the Cranborne AONB. Surely it'd cost a squillion pounds and piss off thousands of people.

Am I just an idiot but are things SO BAD how they are at the moment? It's just a traffic jam on a road isn't it? God knows I sit in those every day. Isn't that better than cutting a big tunnel through the landscape. I'd be happy if they just left all this alone. They shut the old road off, didn't that make a bit of a difference? I don't really understand.

What are we / the government caring about here - traffic issues or returning the landscape to fields (the archaeology getting lost either way). So it looks pretty? and empty? This is the south of england. It's too late to pretend there's no road.

that's my opinion today anyway.
