What's this all about?
- The British government wanted to construct a new 4-lane highway through the Stonehenge World Heritage site and
its surrounding landscape
- Less than 20% of the highway would have been in a tunnel
- Over 80% would have been bulldozed at ground level or in deep cuttings
- The stone circle would not have been damaged or destroyed
- But the highway would have been massively destructive of the
World Heritage Site around it
On Thursday 6th December 2007, the Stonehenge tunnel scheme was officially SCRAPPED!

Lord Kennet (1923-2009)
We were very sorry to hear the sad news that Lord Kennet (Wayland Young) died on Thursday, 7th May 2009.
As most of you will know, Lord Kennet and his wife Elizabeth Young have been absolutely sterling
campaigners for Stonehenge, Avebury, and their associated sites for many, many years. Lord Kennet
was the first chairman of the Stonehenge Alliance, which led the fight against the Stonehenge
road scheme, and later became its patron. We send our condolences to the family.
