THE Stonehenge Traffic Action Group (STAG) is stepping up its pressure on the Government to do more to alleviate the traffic problems on the A303.
Members are calling on local people to sign a parliamentary petition calling for the whole of the A303 to be turned into a dual carriageway.
They are angry that the A344 past Stonehenge was closed as part of the new visitor centre project, which has forced more traffic onto the roads through nearby villages.  Read the story here: http://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/11034371.
“If you are as outraged by this pointless dishonesty and disruption as we are, and you want to help the whole A303 corridor achieve its full economic potential, then please sign our parliamentary petition at: http://www.sh2.co.uk    Many thanks to your readers, because this article generated many more signatures during last week....the wonders of the media eh?!!

As if the inclusion of this story in the Salisbury Journal weren't enough for one day.....we have some more good news: Salisbury MP John Glen, johnglenmp.com has e-mailed the STAG team telling us that after many weeks of applying, he has secured a 90 minute debate on the A303 in Parliament for next Tuesday March 4th between 2.30pm and 4pm.....thank you John!

This is a prominent time slot in Westminster Hall when one of our team will be in the gallery watching and listening!!!   We trust John to set out our case for finances to be freed up for our section of the A303!   Please listen on-line to the debate or catch it later, and we will of course post up on this blog.....so watch this space!!

If you have comments about the A303 problems, please write directly to John Glen at the address above.
