You might think that Wiltshire County Council would try to preserve its Special Landscape Areas.

You may assume that WCC's Environmental Services have a duty to protect wildlife and water.

Here is how Wiltshire County Council actually wants to spoil Westbury's best landscape.

The proposed Eastern Westbury Bypass route is not much over a kilometre from the Westbury White Horse.

This is an area of wide long-distance views.  Westbury Escarpment is clearly visible from Bradford-on-Avon, about 12 kilometres away.  An eastern Westbury bypass would be seen from a large part of West Wiltshire.

As you can see here, the eastern bypass would climb the lower slopes of the Westbury Escarpment.

For road safety and common sense, this A350 bypass should really be a dual-carriageway road,
but a hazardous three-lane road is proposed by WCC to make it seem less conspicuous now.

Though if WCC was to get its way this bypass is likely to become a dual-carriageway.

The eastern route is simply in the wrong area..., on the wrong side of the town...
