Within an hour of<annemarie.trevelyan.mp@parliament.uk> Anne-Marie Trevelyan, taking up her new post as Transport Secretary, I wrote an e-mail to her, letting her know of our plight living near Stonehenge and the over capacity A303
"Here's what I wrote:
Dear Anne-Marie,
Congratulations on “getting the job”!
Whilst I understand that your in-box will
be over flowing right now, when you manage to work your way through, I would
ask you to personally get involved in the argument to fix or not to fix the
A303 past Stonehenge and treat the problem of the over capacity A303 at
Stonehenge with the utmost urgency. Local people in my village of
Shrewton have suffered – some over 30 years, with Rat Run traffic and I have
been writing my blog since 2013. 169,000 vehicles on a 6 meter wide
road in one month is just not acceptable and I wrote to your predecessor on
this very subject. I understand it’s not the government holding up
the project but a group calling themselves https://stonehengealliance.org.uk/
who are putting ever increasing obstacles in the way of progress….as my Tweets
and blog say: “What’s not to like about removing the A303 from the World
Heritage Site and opening up the area for all to enjoy?”.
I leave you with one of my posts on the
blog that show outrageous traffic figures and speeds through our village and
hope that you and your team can liaise with National Highways, with whom we at
STAG work closely, so that we can all progress forward.

With very best wishes in your new post
