Question
Whether they will ask English Heritage to produce illustrations of the Stonehenge landscape during the multi-year period of construction of the two kilometre cut-and-cover tunnel they propose, and of the landscape with the scar of the cut-and-cover tunnel, similar to the airbrushed illustrations of the Stonehenge landscape in the long term, that is, when the tunnel has been completed and the scar mitigated by the passage of time, which they publish in their documentation for the Visitors Centre, or associated developments, and including illustrations of the various portals of the tunnel and of the approach cuts for it, and of the landscaping proposed in Stonehenge Bottom, all within the World Heritage Site.
