A303 Stonehenge (incorporating the Winterbourne Stoke Bypass) Preferred Route Announcement June 1999

Consultation arrangements

National and local organisations, including Government Departments, Local Authorities and other bodies with an interest in, or affected by, the scheme were sent copies of the consultation brochure and questionnaire in January 1999. Copies were also sent to affected land owners. About 9,500 copies of the brochure and questionnaire were delivered to residents in the vicinity of the proposed route. Copies were also available at newsagents and garages in the area.

A presentation of the proposals was made to officers and elected members of Wiltshire County Council, Salisbury District Council and local parish councils. Representatives of other interest groups also attended. A Public Exhibition was held at Antrobus House, Amesbury on 15 and 16 January 1999. The exhibition was advertised in the local press and on local radio and posters were placed in local Post Offices.
