A former Transport and Heritage minister is calling for Stonehenge to be removed from the list of World Heritage sites. Salisbury's Conservative MP Robert Key says a failure to deliver long overdue improvements means Stonehenge no longer deserves the listing.
He claims money for improvements is being diverted to the Olympics.
He is writing to the UNESCO committee asking for the British government to be called to account.

I wouldn't be happy to see Stonehenge loose its place as a heritage site but if money for improvements is being siphoned off it needs to be highlighted |

Why should money be used forthe Olympics instead of Stonehenge?
If they couldn't afford to host the games, why do it?
Stonehenge is part of our heritage.
(Sorry but I am fed up with money going to sport, when there are charities who need the money more)
