UNESCO is considering adding Stonehenge to its list of endangered heritage sites due to the British government's plans to construct a controversial A303 road tunnel near the historic site. The proposed tunnel has raised concerns about potential damage to the Stonehenge landscape, leading UNESCO to warn that the site could be placed on the 'World Heritage in Danger' list. Campaigners have also called for Stonehenge to be put on this list to ensure its protection.
'If you gaze south from Stonehenge, your view is of a crocodile of cars grinding along the A303 en route to the West Country. 'Unfortunately the government’s plans to improve matters by burying the road in a two-mile tunnel now face another obstacle.' ✍️ Andrew Tettenborn
