Heritage Link reports that the cost of man-hours spent on the Stonehenge Inquiry could well equal the cost of the road proposals itself given the huge commitment of numerous organisations including many voluntary groups which have been working on the proposals for over two years. The Inquiry into the A303 Improvement Scheme opening on 17th February in Salisbury could run until 30 April, with the ministerial outcome being sometime after this. There will be a separate Inquiry on the proposed Visitor Centre.
By the second pre Inquiry meeting held on 26th January, over thirty proofs of evidence had been received by the Inspector, Michael Ellison. Apart from the main parties - the Highways Agency, English Heritage and the National Trust, these include the Council for British Archaeology, The Prehistoric Society, the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS UK), the British Druid Order, as well as a wide range of regional and local bodies, the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society, Wiltshire County Council, the Friends of the Earth, Wiltshire, the Amesbury Action Group, the Countess Road Residents’ Group, and the Stonehenge Alliance which acts as an informal umbrella group for Ancient Sacred Landscapes Network, CPRE, Friends of the Earth, RESCUE, The British Archaeological Trust, the Pagan Federation and Transport 2000. Individuals have also registered their intention to give evidence in person.
