For those who may be interested but haven't heard:

"This is a short email to let you know that the A303 Stonehenge 
tunnel/road scheme was officially scrapped this morning, Thursday 6th 
December. That's the news we've wanted to bring you for almost a
decade!

You can read the official British government announcement by Tom
Harris 
MP here:

You can find a more detailed report here:

You can read our (delighted) reaction and response in our press
release:
http://www.savestonehenge.org.uk/ssnr061207.html

Save Stonehenge was formed back in early 1999 to fight this
destructive 
scheme. We're delighted to have played a very small part in today's 
victory, along with *many* other environmental groups and individuals.
We'd like to pay tribute to our friends at the Stonehenge Alliance, 
particularly Dr Kate Fielden, whose tireless commitment to Stonehenge 
has kept this issue alive.

We'd also like to thank all of you -- our supporters, some 1600 people
on our email list from over 25 different countries -- for your 
unflagging support over most of the last decade. Hopefully, this is
the 
end of our campaign, but there's still much work to be done in
securing 
the future of the Stonehenge World Heritage Site. This may be our last
email, but we'll announce any future plans or developments on our 
website. You can get immediate updates by subscribing to our RSS feed:

Thank you all again so much!

Best wishes,

Chris W.
for Save Stonehenge!

Not a problem. I'm surprised, but then I suppose councils take a while
to think anything through.

I'm not surprised at the time it took, I'm pleasantly surprised at the 
outcome.
When it comes to ancient monuments and tourism I guess I'm a pessimist.
