Dear
Mr Shapps,
I
refer to my previous letter dated 26th January pointing
you to the STAG blog and have provided the link here:
There
are some vehicle numbers on the STAG link above, taken from the Speed
Indicator Device (SID) on London Road the B3086.
Followers
of Stonehenge Traffic Action Group would like to thank the government
for their handling of the present most difficult situation.
We have, as you may read on this Facebook post of today, https://www.facebook.com/crazychick1517/posts/10220478138716852
enjoyed lock down when peace prevailed in our little village of Shrewton just off the A303 at Stonehenge. The air got cleaner, the High Street was quiet and residents could walk safely…..
Today
the story is different!
With
lockdown lifted, the A303 is “back to normal” west bound and our
village is once
again suffering
as a result of the increased traffic. Schools
have not yet broken up for summer and this year will be horrendous
due to the nation having been locked up for the past 3 months and
more.
As
the Prime Minister, the Chancellor and your Good self meet to consider
your
decision about the A303 at
Stonehenge and the announcement on
the 17th
July, we want to express again, our concern for the future of the
economy to the West Country, the environment due to long standing
traffic emitting noxious gases, and of course the
Well Being
of the
residents of our
village here in Shrewton.
Should
your decision be negative,
our little village cannot sustain
this increased traffic as more people take to holidaying in the UK –
the right thing to do. With a positive decision, some of us have
waited 30 years for something to be done to fix the A303, now over
capacity, and we can wait a further 5 or 6 years through the build
for things to improve.
Best
wishes
