SH2 Not HS2 - A Real Engine for Growth

If you have been affected by traffic chaos in and around the Stonehenge area, which has been massively increased by the expensive vanity project that is the new visitor's centre and the closure of the A344, please sign the Stonehenge Traffic Action Group's petition.





We need a step-change from more than 30 years of so-called consultation by dithering and duplicitous local and national government bodies. Poorly planned though it is, the opening of the new Stonehenge visitors' centre on 18th December 2013 provides a rare and truly global platform to embarrass them into action.

And when I say 'us' I mean ALL those who live, work or travel along the full length of the A303; a key national and international arterial road with socio-economic implications in Westminster, Brussels and beyond.

To dual the Stonehenge section of the A303 is the only viable solution – an objective that STAG and WiSBAng call "SH2."

So, politicians, here's a chance to bow down gracefully from HS2 and make a real difference by spending a fraction of that money on SH2 and be a real engine of growth for West Country businesses.






HS2 is unproven -  jam tomorrow?

Act now on SH2 (Stonehenge Dualling) and get rid of the jam today!
