[Stones] New houses for Avebury?

[Ric]

i am still gobsmacked that this development even got
to the planning stage?

ask EH to erect a standing stone at Avebury and they
will serve you up with every excuse not to, under the
sun

but along comes a little bit of real estate
development, and green lights start flashing all
around the planning office

it's not fair!
