Last call for objections to the Stonehenge road

Submitted by Andy B on Tuesday, 12 August 2003 Page Views: 1817

[With apologies for overexcited CAPS - Ed] The closing date for objecting to the Stonehenge highway plan is 4 SEPTEMBER 2003. Please write in and object straight away if you've not done so already. Please don't think "Lots of other people will do it so I don't need to". As far as we can tell, NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE OBJECTED YET. We need as many people to write as possible.

Don't forget the bottom line, even with its tunnel plan THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT STILL INTENDS TO BULLDOZE TWO MILES OF BRAND NEW, 4-LANE HIGHWAY AT GROUND LEVEL THROUGH THE INTERNATIONALLY IMPORTANT STONEHENGE WORLD HERITAGE SITE.

There are ready-made letters you can send and more details on our website

And if you're feeling keen, there are some leaflets on that page you can print down for your friends :)

2. Please write to UNESCO

UNESCO is ultimately responsible for protecting the Stonehenge World Heritage Site. Its British adviser, ICOMOS-UK, has already objected to the road plan. Now we need UNESCO's World Heritage Centre in Paris to do the same. Please write, fax, or email the director and ask him to object:

Francesco Bandarin
Director
UNESCO World Heritage Centre
7 Place de Fontenoy
75352 Paris
FRANCE
Email: [email protected]
Fax: From the UK: 00 33 145 685 570

3. Please help us keep the campaign going

We're gearing up now for a very expensive public inquiry in early 2004. We've been going four and a half years now... and with your help, we will keep up our fight for as long as it takes. But no money, no campaign. So can you please make a donation to help us? If you donate just one pound or one dollar that would be wonderful!

We have a secure online server that can instant donations from all major credit cards (it's run by WorldPay); we can also accept PayPal donations.

Please take a look at our donation webpage:

Thanks for all your support!

Happy summertime,

Save Stonehenge!
