Following our article
highlighting Highways England's use of trigger words, our regular
contributor, paulintheswimhotmailcom has
submitted the following compelling further analysis of their deceitful
behaviour:
I think it’s deceitful of
Highways England to claim they have the support of “a Scientific Committee
of eminent archaeological experts” when they know full well that there is a
consortium of 22 world-class archaeologists (headed up by Mike Parker
Pearson) who are against the current tunnel scheme. So too are UNESCO,
ICOMOS, Stonehenge Alliance, CPRE, FOE, CBT, Council for British
Archaeology and over 63,000 people who have now signed the two petitions
against the tunnel (one for the UK and one for overseas).
Furthermore, Mike Parker Pearson
and his colleagues have asked for 100% sieve-rate (the gold standard) in
sensitive archaeological areas but Highways England aren’t willing to do
anything like that “on cost grounds”. It is very apparent that they aren’t willing
to build the tunnel to the archaeological standards that the experts are
asking for as they just want to do it on the cheap.
However, Highways England are
correct in claiming they have the support of “the country’s heritage
bodies” as these are English Heritage, Historic England and National Trust.
And these three organisations are willing to let serious damage be done to
Blick Mead, the western burial grounds and other areas of this World
Heritage Site in order to further their own interests in Stonehenge (which
they own and make a lot of money from).
They are all trying to con the
public, and the decision makers, into thinking the tunnel is a historical
improvement when the reality is that it will be very damaging to the wider
Stonehenge landscape.
It’s just deceit and hypocrisy!"
Presumably, "paulintheswim" doesn't live where we live and as previously stated in this blog....their "consortium of 22 world class archaeologists" are completely out of touch with reality, meaning......someone who is “psychotic” and likely to experience false beliefs, delusions and false sights or sounds known as hallucination!!!
This is our update from Highways England on 29th April, on this matter:
Good
afternoon,
I’m just writing with an update on the A303
Stonehenge project. As you know we were expecting a decision to be made by the
Secretary of State for Transport about our Development Consent
Order application on 2 April. It was announced today that the
deadline for this has now been extended to 17 July 2020.
You can read the full statement given by DfT on behalf
of SoS Grant Schapps here.
As you may be aware, the Government committed funding for the A303
Stonehenge upgrade in the recent Budget.
In the coming months, we will be working hard to secure a world-class contractor to build the
scheme. In the next stage of the procurement process, we will be entering into
a competitive dialogue with three international Joint Ventures. The final
award of the contract will be subject of course to the Secretary of State’s decision
on our DCO application.
In the meantime please
stay safe and well.
Best Wishes
