Latest legal bid to stop A303 Stonehenge tunnel project begins

The latest legal bid to overturn the approval for a road tunnel near to Stonehenge is due to start later.

The scheme, by the former Conservative government, includes overhauling eight miles of the A303 in Wiltshire and has faced numerous legal challenges by campaigners such as Save Stonehenge World Heritage Site (SSWHS), since it was first approved in 2020.

The next legal hurdle is expected to last three days and will take place at the Court of Appeal in London.

John Adams, from SSWHS, also known as Stonehenge Alliance, said they will argue that reasons to dismiss their previous challenge in February, were wrong.
