The White Horse Alliance is an umbrella organisation for local people and environmental groups who are campaigning to preserve the countryside around Westbury in Wiltshire, and who oppose a road in the Wellhead Valley, at the foot of the Westbury White Horse.

Wiltshire County Council wants to create a "strategic route" between the south coast and the M4 motorway, defying the regional strategy and rejecting transport solutions which reduce traffic and pollution. The proposed road - the A350 Westbury Eastern Bypass - is three and a third miles long (5.4 km) and costs about £ 35 million. It will remove lorry traffic from outside 230 properties in Westbury but it is opposed by the majority of the town's 10,000 residents and neighbouring villages.

We are asking for a re-think at the forthcoming public inquiry into the road scheme.
