Re: Proposed Vehicular Closure of Byway 12, Netheravon Cattle Drove

Sir

I wish to oppose the change of use under Articles 9, 10, 11 and 14 of the European Convention of Human Rights.

As it is used four times a year ( solstices and equinoxes) as a parking and gathering point for Religious Observances *

* Supported evidence can be provided

Arthur was served papers today to appear in Salisbury County Court this Monday (27/4/09) at 11am. Wiltshire CC has applied to have him evicted from The Drove. He believes this is to prevent him from his lawful protest at Stonehenge. He will be contesting this case on Monday and require as many robed druids, witches and support as possible. Please come along to show your support. Media will be notified and hopefully present.

25^th March 2009
King Arthur Pendragon has been picketing Stonehenge since the Summer Solstice of 2008 in protest at the wilful lack of action, mis-management and neglect since the 1950s of the World Heritage Site of Stonehenge by English Heritage and the British government.

A spokesperson from EH has now informed Arthur that due to the delayed decision making by the DCMS Minister, and failure to apply for planning permission in time, the deadline has now been missed for completion of the whole project including the new Visitor Centre in time for the 2012 Olympics and will therefore, once again, be shelved!

In firm response, Arthur wishes it be known that he will now step up his peaceful campaign due to this news of the intention of both English Heritage and the British Government to renege on their promises to protect the temple/monument.

Ironically, English Heritage have announced a campaign to protect historical buildings in conservation areas and are creating a Doomsday Book listing of these - what a disgrace that they have failed to protect Stonehenge for so long!

9th February 2009
King Arthur Pendragon is still encamped at Stonehenge, Wilts, UK where he has been protesting since last Summer Solstice 2008.

Throughout all weathers, the Senior Druid who proposes to stand for Parliament, as an Independent Candidate for Salisbury, no longer the 'Stonehenge Picket' but silent witness to the deceits and inadequacies of our Government which promised an announcement over plans for Stonehenge by the end of last year.'

DRUID WARS. There are NO druid wars. Just two very distinct types of druids and a few pretenders. There are the 'real' druids who likened to their ancient forbearers, will rant and rage at the authorities. And there are the 'new age' druids who will sit at and wait for crumbs from the masters table. Personally, I sit at no table other than own and that table is Round, where all druids are equal.

IN FOR PENNY, IN FOR A POUND

Funds are desperately needed to support The Stonehenge Picket and Arthur’s Political Campaign.

Arthur has neither income nor savings and has maxed out his credit facilities on the Stonehenge Picket.

As a published author, MENSA member and accomplished speaker, Arthur is available for a fee (plus expenses) to attend your event as an after-dinner speaker, provide lectures on modern paganism, druidry, protest and other related matters

 

20th October 2008
The Stonehenge Picket

King Arthur Pendragon, has collected thousands of signatures from tourists at Stonehenge from around the Globe, petitioning UNESCO to hold our Government to its promise of road improvement and Free Open access to the Monument/Temple.

English Heritage has pledged to make an announcement by the end of the year as to their plans for future development. Undaunted by the cold and wet and the onset of winter on Salisbury plane, Arthur has vowed to continue the Picket until they do so.

 

9th October 2008

At the Round Table meeting today Arthur refused to paper over the cracks and spoke of the differences between the Elitist Druids who believe they have some God/ess given right to Stonehenge and the Peoples' druids like Rollo, Arthur and Tim before them, who stood and stand 3 square and 10 behind the People. Arthur pledged to continue and to stand firm in his inclusive Philosophy.
