English Heritage released the following statement yesterday regarding the impact of the A303 Stonehenge Improvement Road Scheme on the Archaeology of the World Heritage Site: English Heritage supports the Highways Agency's proposal for the A303 at Stonehenge, which will bring a number of major benefits to the Stonehenge World Heritage Site (WHS) by removing the roads and traffic from the immediate vicinity of the Stone Circle. This will improve the visitor experience as well as achieving major objectives of the WHS management plan.

The route of the new road and its associated structures have been deliberately planned to minimise archaeological disturbance.

We have concerns about some aspects of the scheme which we are discussing with the Highways Agency and are hopeful they will be resolved.
