Campaigners have won a High Court battle over Transport Secretary Grant Shapps’ decision to approve a controversial road project which includes a tunnel near Stonehenge.

Save Stonehenge World Heritage Site (SSWHS) challenged his decision to back the £1.7bn (€1.9bn) scheme to overhaul eight miles of the A303, including the two-mile tunnel.
