Only Sir Jocelyn Stevens could have come up with the ridiculous idea of putting the Stonehenge Visitors Centre so far away from the Stones. Few people in the USA realised that, if the scheme had gone ahead, visitors would have had a very long walk after getting out of the land train from the VC. Transport for the lat mile would have been only available to the disabled. Any tunnel is prohibitively expensive and completely unnecessary. The only reason that a tunnel was suggested was so that Stonehenge visitors would not have to put up with the sight of traffic which, in any case, has always been there from the time it was built. Widening of the existing A303 by one carriageway to be used by east or westbound traffic as conditions dictate would do minimal damage to the World Heritage Site. Taking the A303 away completely and using it as a Salisbury bypass would be an even better and far cheaper alternative. Dr Tony Munday Past Chairman of the Countess Road Residents Group
