THE team behind £1.7billion plans to transform the A303 near Stonehenge will be completing a roadshow next week, to talk to residents about the latest version of the project.

The secretary of state for transport is currently reassessing the controversial planning application to construct a two-lane dual carriageway between Amesbury and Berwick Down, after the decision was quashed last year.

With the scheme paused during the redetermination process, National Highways has submitted updated information to the transport secretary and routine survey work is also going ahead across the route of the proposed upgrade.

Next the project team will be touring Salisbury and the surrounding towns and villages to provide updates for residents, community groups and businesses, collect feedback and comments, and answer any queries and concerns.

Following the tour, people will also have the opportunity to put questions to A303 Stonehenge project manager David Bullock, via a live web chat on Thursday, June 16.

In the lead up to the roadshow he said: “There seems to be some uncertainty about the status of the scheme, and some misconceptions within local communities, and we’re hoping to provide people with answers to their questions and an update on where the scheme’s at.

“People can put any questions they want to us and we welcome the chance to engage with anyone who might be directly impacted and those interested in the proposed scheme.”

On May 21 the 'Chatty Van' will be in Shrewton Village Hall and Rec between 9.30am and 11.30am and then Bell Inn, Winterbourne Stoke, between 12.30pm and 3pm.

On May 22 it will be in Salisbury City Central car park, Mill Stream Approach, between 10am and 3pm, on May 23 in Amesbury's Bowman Centre between 10am and 3pm, and on May 24 Salisbury Guildhall Square between 10am and 3pm.

The tour will end on May 25, in Durrington Sainsbury's between 9.30am and 12pm, and Church Street car park, Amesbury, between 1pm and 3.30pm.
