1. MORE Joint Venture £1.25 BN The majority of the £1.3bn already committed was for the MORE joint venture, featuring Spain's FCC Construcción, Italian firm WeBuild, and BeMo Tunnelling from Austria, who National Highways announced as its preferred bidder to build the tunnel in May 2022 under a £1.25 billion deal. The joint venture partners' shares were FCC Construcción (42.5%), WeBuild (42.5%), and BeMo Tunnelling (15%). Global Highways The design consortium they assembled included Atkins, Jacobs, and Spanish firm Sener. Critically, this contract was never fully activated it was contingent on final planning consent. 2. Costain & Mott MacDonald £60 M (Delivery Assurance) Costain and Mott MacDonald were awarded the £60 million Delivery Assurance Partner contract by National Highways. The two engineering giants would provide technical and construction management expertise by assisting in the mobilisation of the main works contractor, overseeing construction, assisting in the discharge of consent requirements, and assuring the design. 3. Wessex Archaeology £35 M (Archaeological Mitigation) Wessex Archaeology, one of the largest contractors in the sector, was awarded the £35 million Archaeological Mitigation Contract. Traffic Technology Today This work had a long history Wessex Archaeology began its work on the scheme in 1998. 4. Octavius Infrastructure (formerly Osborne) £8.5 M (Preliminary Works) Octavius Infrastructure was awarded the £8.5 million Preliminary Works Contract via the Collaborative Delivery Framework. 5. Mace Quantity Surveying & Cost Consultancy National Highways contracted with Mace for quantity surveying, cost consultancy, and contractor liaison on the whole scheme, covering the road improvements as well as the tunnel. 6. High Court Enforcement Group £10 million National Highways committed to a £10M deal with security firm High Court Enforcement Group. What Was the £179.2 Million Actually Spent On? Stage 1 – historical review of previous schemes, options identification, initial ecological and topographical surveys, ground investigation, liaison with stakeholders, public consultation and preferred route selection: £13,961,610 Stage 2 – preliminary scheme design, consultation, ecological and topographical surveys, ground investigation, archaeological survey and evaluation, utility liaison: £33,665,750 Statutory powers and processes – development and submission of planning documentation, engagement with planning and legal processes: £27,664,383 Development of construction documentation, contract procurement: £37,017,120 Stage 3 – advanced site works: ground investigation, ecological and topographical surveys, ongoing archaeological evaluation, utility liaison, surveys, new supplies and diversion works, discharge of planning requirements: £52,457,822 The statutory powers section appears to include the costs of the many separate legal challenges against the scheme. TVVS In other words... The taxpayers paid for the government to defend the project in court... And lost. 🤡

@OnlyClickClick @LBC Simplistic conclusions from a simpleton. “I don’t understand civil engineering projects in Britain so I fink its corupshion” 🤡

Stonehenge tunnel officially scrapped - after more than £179,000,000 spent on plan lbc.co.uk/article/stoneh…

@sunlit_upland @LBC 175m and nothing to show for it is saying something else.

@bish1964 @JohnSwinney Just leave this one here for the "bishop" You're move Pawn...

@OnlyClickClick @JohnSwinney Vestas is a danish company ya fucking dobber ye. What a melt

Scotland produces huge amounts of renewable energy, but the UK's broken energy system means people's bills are through the roof. Scotland's energy should work for the benefit of people, not Westminster. On May 7th, vote SNP for the fresh start of independence, with lower bills.

@collins_ke80515 @JohnSwinney Good luck with all these cheap accounts you keep buying lol.

@OnlyClickClick @JohnSwinney They don't .Swinney and the ludicrous Holyrood do that

@bish1964 @JohnSwinney Oh I forgot you just sit on X all day talking about John Swinney lol Enjoy yer night mate..

@bish1964 @JohnSwinney Still provides jobs here and work force here. Never seen one on the road?

@CraigDuffy855 @ScotNational Slow out the block but you wait till I get going.. 😉

@OnlyClickClick @ScotNational Starting to think😂 At least you’re getting there😂👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Watch as protesters interrupt Nigel Farage’s speech in Scotland 🚨 People were heard heckling Reform UK’s leader as the party announced its candidates and manifesto for the Scottish Parliament election

Oh really? £67 million was spent in 2024–25 on offshore wind capital and resource funding combined. £150 million was committed in the 2025–26 Budget year two of a five-year plan to invest up to £500 million total into the offshore wind sector. Prior to these recent commitments, the Scottish Government had invested almost £150 million in the offshore wind supply chain and ports infrastructure. So in total, the Scottish Government's direct public investment in wind is: £150m (historical, pre-2024) £67m (2024–25) £150m (2025–26) Up to £500m pledged over five years total (the £67m and £150m form part of this) That puts confirmed and committed Scottish Government public spending at roughly £367 million spent or allocated so far, within a broader £500 million five-year commitment. So tell me again.. How this is not OUR POWER!!! But again another legacy aged account talking shit. You lot with your bots man get a fucking grip.

@OnlyClickClick @JohnSwinney It is not our power. Do your research before you post your nonsense.

Triggered little bot you.. Built in Scotland by Vestas. But I don't expect someone like you to know much about that since you spend your time rolling about X starting arguments with everyone. Just like a good little bot and you bought and paid for legacy 2009 spam account. Keep going with your bought accounts. I'll still be here with the facts. You will still be on the accounts market paying for accounts lol. Keep going.

@OnlyClickClick @JohnSwinney Who the fuck do you think provides the infrastructure to manufacture and harvest this energy ? It certainly isn’t wee jock poopy mcplop and his cronies ..

@DefenceHQ @JohnHealey_MP But nothing to stop the boats? Defence starts at home not half way around the world.

"My number one priority is protecting British people ⎻ military and civilian." Hear from Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP ⬇️

It's going to get swept under the rug like always just like the covid money stolen and wasted money on HS2 now this. Projects like this should have public votes to be funded. Because at this point MP's and friends and family of them are all printing money out taxes for no work delivered.

The A303 Stonehenge tunnel has been scrapped after years of planning. £180 million. Gone. Not a single mile built. Not a single benefit delivered. Just taxpayer money burned. Who is actually held accountable for this?
