Background

On the 20th July 2005, the Inspector's Report on the Public Inquiry into the A303 Stonehenge Improvement was published. In his Report, the Inspector recommended in favour of the Published Scheme and further recommended that the scheme Orders should be made, subject to some minor modifications. On the same day, the Minister of State for Transport announced that, as a result of a substantial increase in the cost of the Published Scheme, the Government had decided to review whether the scheme still represented value for money and was the best option for delivering improvements to the A303 and the setting of Stonehenge.

The Review has been carried out in two stages in accordance with the Terms of Reference attached at Appendix A of the report. Stage 1 was completed in January 2006 with publication of the A303 Stonehenge Improvement, Scheme Review - Stage 1 Report. Stage 2 continued with a public consultation which ran from 24 January to 24 April 2006 and included the publication of a leaflet and questionnaire (attached at Appendix B of the report), two public exhibitions and two public meetings. This document reports on the consultation and provides an analysis of the results. A summary of the results can be found in the A303 Stonehenge Improvement, Scheme Review - Stage 2 Report.
