English Heritage have announced they WILL be tunnelling Silbury to repair it.
Heritage Action is calling upon them to explain their reasoning to the public, not go ahead on a unilateral basis.
The decision MAY be right, though what details they've published suggest that tunnelling will involve vastly more damage than the 'grouting' option and be vastly more expensive. Yet they've announced that's their choice without a single word to explain why. So we, and presumably the public, are left entirely bemused.
You can read the full account here -

If you agree that an explanation is owed - and that's actually all we are asking for - PLEASE send them an email or letter, along the lines suggested on our site.
Many thanks.
