Reaction to Government plans to scrap the Stonehenge tunnel - 28 July, 2024

Dk

Many residents in Wiltshire will be deeply disappointed that the project to relieve the horrendous traffic congestion through our villages has been axed.  If this report is true is it essential that the Government comes forward with a credible alternative plan - funded by the savings from scrapping the tunnel - to improve the road network around the A303. These improvements have been needed for years but delayed in anticipation of the tunnel. The Government must now set out how it will help our towns and villages cope with the volume of cars and lorries that clog up our roads.
