A303 Stonehenge Improvement Scheme
A message from Historic England Chief Executive, Duncan Wilson.
We understand the government needs to make difficult decisions on public spending, but we are disappointed at the decision to cancel the A303 Stonehenge Improvement Scheme as we believe this was the right scheme for the World Heritage Site.
We are reassured that UNESCO has now considered the advice from us and the Advisory Bodies and not placed Stonehenge on the List of World Heritage in Danger.
We remain hopeful that at some point in the future, this scheme could be reconsidered as the best option to solve the longstanding traffic issues around Stonehenge and reunite this internationally important prehistoric landscape.
