Eastern tunnel portal and cutting: This is what is proposed for land purchased by National Trust in 2020.   More scheme images here. Image above by National Highways

Without the National Trust’s support, the Government’s proposal would be unlikely to succeed since the road goes through and under land owned by the Trust.

Please ask the National Trust to stand up for Stonehenge World Heritage Site, support sustainable transport solutions that address traffic issues, and ask the Government to abandon its intention to proceed with the A303 scheme.  The National Trust should consider road building as an option of last resort, and not support a dual carriageway through a World Heritage Site.

Please write to: 

National Trust Chairman, René Olivieri and Hilary McGrady, National Trust Director-General, by sending the email below.

• It is more effective, if you can, use your own words so please feel free to edit accordingly.
• Can you let us know whether you are a member of the National Trust in the drop down option?
• Your greeting to Mr Olivieri and Ms McGrady, as well as your signature, will appear automatically when you send the email.

THANK YOU!

“But we have not two Stonehenges, and our generation will be vilified by all posterity if we allow the surroundings of this monument, the frontispiece to English history, to be ruined beyond repair.”
