Partnering approach


The scheme is an integral part of the Government's vision for the Stonehenge World Heritage Site as set out in the Stonehenge Master Plan. The Highways Agency are responsible for the delivery of the Trunk Road improvement through the statutory procedures but this will be carried out in the context of the Master Plan. The implementation of the Master Plan is being overseen by a Steering Group supported by an Executive Group and five Working Groups, one of which is concerned with the Trunk Road proposals.

The Working Groups are attended by representatives from official organisations relevant to the particular area of interest, who are fully involved in discussions and consultations. These bodies express their views through the Working Groups and support the proposals in principle. These official bodies are:

  • Department for Culture, Media and Sport

  • Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions

  • English Heritage

  • The Highways Agency

  • English Nature

  • Environment Agency

  • National Trust

  • Wiltshire County Council

  • Salisbury District Council

  • Amesbury Town Council

  • Government Office for the South West
