Stonehenge Alliance 'hopeful' of appealing High Court decision
The Alliance have submitted grounds to appeal February's decision
Opposition to the Stonehenge Tunnel say they remain hopeful of a successful appeal over the High Court decision to dismiss their case.
The dismissal means National Highways have been able to begin planning works on the site.
But Stonehenge Alliance Chairman, John Adams, has told Greatest Hits Radio that they've already raised enough money to submit grounds for an appeal.
"We remain hopeful. We have to trust in the law," John said.
He added: "We think we've got a case, our legal team who are experts in this field think we've got a legal case and we have to push on. We've been committed to this for years now."
He feels an error has been made in law and now are looking for High Court permission to appeal, but admits it could be the final bow in their quiver.
"They can turn us down, at this stage," he said, "if they turn us down, then that's probably as far as we can go. If they give us permission, then of course there will be an appeal court hearing. And that would mean that we'd have to raise even more money."
So far, tens of thousands of pounds have been raised, and support has been coming from across the world.
He said: "Our petition which now has in excess of 237,000 signatures.
"Those signatures come from at least 147 different countries, so it is worldwide."
John said media coverage has also stretched to Europe and America, with radio interviews from the States and France, while Dutch TV have also been in touch.
"Most people know of Stonehenge if they don't know about it, they would recognise it in the same way that we might recognise a picture of the pyramids."
It's unknown when an answer is expected from the High Court, with John admitting "we're entirely in the hands of the courts."
