Expand the A303

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Take action on expanding the A303 single carriageway that passes by Stonehenge and turn it into a Dual carriageway.

Stonehenge attracts visitors and tourists from all around the world and those tourists often slow down to view the stones, creating delays and hazards. This affects local residents, making daily travel difficult and disrupting essential services. The heavy traffic, especially during peak seasons, places a burden on the community. Action is needed to address the impact of tourism on local roads and improve the flow of traffic for everyone.

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We can’t accept petitions that request action at a local level.

You could ask your MP to take action on your concerns about this issue, including by asking them to present a public (paper) petition about this.
