Go-ahead for tunnel
A CONTROVERSIAL plan to dig a road tunnel near Stonehenge has been given the go-ahead by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.
The decision goes against the recommendations of planning officials, who warned it would cause “permanent, irreversible harm” to the World Heritage Site in Wiltshire near the busy A303.
Highways England says its plan for a two-mile tunnel will remove the sight and sound of traffic passing the site and cut journey times.
