Greens defend Rotherwas Ribbon
Aug 10, 2007, 15:37
Green Party Principal Speaker Dr. Derek Wall said:

"The Rotherwas Ribbon is of great historical importance. It is vital that discoveries like these are protected from more road building.

"English Heritage inspectors have said that the best thing is for the remains to be preserved in-situ. They are currently considering whether the site meets the criteria for 'scheduling' - this status is given to monuments whose preservation is given priority over other land uses.

"Though this wouldn't preclude the relief road being built, it would send a message to Hereford council of the importance of these ancient remains.

"A petition calling for a full public inquiry to decide the future of the Rotherwas Ribbon can be signed on the Downing St website. I urge people who care about our archaeological heritage to add their names."
