I've just seen this petition on one the UK Stone Circles Facebook Page ..

I can see why visitors to Avebury might think a bypass is a good idea as heavy goods vehicles do trundle through on a daily basis, not to mention high volumes of commuter traffic and two double decker buses an hour but where would a bypass go without destroying the World Heritage Site which includes Silbury and Windmill Hill. Quite a few people have signed the petition but I wonder how many of them could come up with a viable alternative route.
(PS: I haven't signed it.)


As an only occasional visitor to Avebury I do find the heavy traffic through it quite disturbing & in an ideal world it should be prohibited; similarly around Silbury,so a bypass would be a good idea, apart from the 49 bus maybe. Isn't there somewhere near where a decent car park with a ride in or walk in facilities are available. Am I being a non native numpty?
