"does anyone actually know WHY English Heritage chose polystyrene"

I know I don't. But that sounds like a possible explanation. My first thought is of the irritating shite that gets used as postal packaging, though the pics of Silbury looked like big chunks, I think. The reason the cynic in me suggests is that they used polystyrene because it was relatively cheap to get up there by heccylopter. But it doesn't sound like a long term solution, so if it's appropriate for the current state of the hill, surely that implies there's a longer term problem in the eyes of the hill's custodians.

Part of the problem the petition is trying to address is that EH don't seem to be all that willing to tell people what the score is, nor exactly what they think needs to be done.

And if asking pertinent questions makes you unpopular dude, then that's not right, things that matter to as many paople as this, should be open for discussion.
