Roman and saxon settlements being destroyed forever

Constructors on the Olympic Highway destroy historic findings to save money

The destruction of countryside and wildlife continues along the route of the so called 'Olympic Highway'. The so called Weymouth Relief Road is under way and ploughs through the most beautiful countryside.

Great discoveries have been made and skulls, bones and artefacts have been unearthed. The real truth is that some discoveries of Roman settlements have been found by constructors and covered up, they do not want to be delayed in the works as it will cost them huge financial penalties. constructors are hiding the discoveries. the only ones allowed to be seen by the archeologists are those away from the roads route.

many bodies, skulls and artefacts have successfully been recovered and saved, but many more are being destroyed and hidden, this cannot go on. We have lots more to learn and lots more to find. We only have one chance to find out what history still lies beneath the soil before it is destroyed and buried beneath traffic heading for the Olympics in Weymouth.

Please, Please, show your support and any help

I'm not one for usually collaborating with the middle classes but maybe poking a hornets nest of national trust members might be in order? They're the types that'd usually support this kind of campaign, especially if it was tied in with the misuse of taxpayers money to fund the Olympics.

Do you have any evidence that can support what are basically just claims by you? It's hard to do much about this without it!

I ask because its been widely reported that other sections of the road construction have included archaeological excavations, along with analysis and subsequent museum exhibits. So its unclear why that should change now.

For example:
