The short tunnel scheme is opposed by UNESCO. Ministers have been told that the petition against it is closing in on 150,000 signatures from people in 147 countries. It is a World Heritage landscape, protected by an international treaty signed by Britain, so it is surely not a place where Britain should be building a too-short tunnel for cost reasons and telling the world the resultant construction of a mile of new dual carriageways across it is for “enhancement” purposes. Britain is not a banana republic – surely?
