His Majesty’s Government is fully committed to protecting the World Heritage Sites for which we are responsible, and we continue to engage closely with UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre and the World Heritage Committee to ensure that we are able to meet their requests as far as is reasonably practicable. This includes ongoing dialogue regarding the Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites World Heritage Site and the A303 Scheme, ahead of the World Heritage Committee meeting on 21–31 July this year.

We anticipate the full State of Conservation reporting and associated information will be published on UNESCO’s website shortly before the Committee meeting.
