And no English Heritage to the rescue who seem at present to support the burial and promise no quick decision on scheduling.

Maybe keep him in reserve until the Council Meeting and Public Meeting this Friday. I suppose that the party whip will be on the Conservative Councillors in this Conservative majority council and suspect that the vote on the very sensible Rotherwas motion will be lost.
Hey, maybe future prime minister David Cameron or James Hunt instead of the man with the golden larynx could persuade these Tory nimbys [No (History) In My Backyard] to vote for the motion.

"and promise no quick decision on scheduling."
As far as I understand it, and I don't very well, the above may be the crux, and rather significant.
If something is scheduled one can't build a road over it. Anyone know if that's true?
By contrast, if something isn't then the way it is treated is solely down to the County Archaeologist, based upon his interpretation of PPG16.
Ergo, if a County Archaeologist chooses to build a road over it and then EH schedules it AFTERWARDS, then that's OK??
Further, the County Archaeologist is then free to bid for E.H. funds to explore the archaeology in full once the road has been built.... and to discover the ribbon is priceless, and stretches from a sacred hill to a river for maybe a mile, and is a super thing, marred only by the fact a road goes over it.

"An 81-year-old man and his 72-year-old wife appeared in court today after being arrested during a protest to save a Bronze Age footpath."

May they rot in hell for their extreme wickedness.
Note it is now a mere "footpath". Purely an accidental term, you understand.
