Why are England's heritage bodies supporting the Stonehenge Bypass? - Apollo Magazine

Good article explaining that the proposed tunnel should extend the
entire length of the World Heritage Site, not just the NT property.
Please take the time to object to these proposals and suggest a longer
tunnel.



'What is certain is that Stonehenge needs a revised
proposal that tackles its traffic problem. This might loop the route of a
new bypass wholly outside the boundaries of the WHS, or bore a longer
tunnel below its full width. What is uncertain, as they face this first test, is whether England’s new frameworks for heritage protection are robust enough to meet this need.

Highways England’s six-week public consultation on the Stonehenge
Bypass closes on 5 March. You can contribute your views through their
website. '

A report which discusses the issue of dividing up London can be seen here. Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow
