I posted that blog in August last year and here..... again, https://stonehengealliance.org.uk/ are trying everything within their power to delay decisions or even block progress. This has just come in to me as a follower....In this case, Covid may well be a welcome guest......
Stonehenge Alliance campaign update....
Re determination Consultation: meeting the 3rd August deadline
"The Transport Secretary queried a number of specific points raised by various interested parties including ourselves last April. National Highways has responded in several lengthy documents and, in turn, comments from Interested Parties have been invited by the Transport Secretary by 3rd August.
We are working with special advisers to meet this very tight deadline, not helped by COVID and summer holidays. As a result we have not yet been able to formulate key points for a supporter's response as hoped.
We have received enquiries from some supporters about this. However, at this stage, weight of numbers isn't needed so we trust that our responses will be sufficiently comprehensive to reflect most of your concerns. We will share these in due course.
We're all looking forward to a summer break!" |

Up
The reasons for
refusing the resubmitted DCO are explained in detail in our
specialists' responses on various aspects: from legal arguments
about the status of this process to the risks from groundwater
disruptions at Blick Mead.
It's papers like these that are at the heart of our campaign. You
can read our blog here.
