I live in [] and was not officially notified about the consultation regarding the London Resort. Considering the whole of Thurrock will be hugely impacted by this development, as it is proposed to have a ferry crossing between Tilbury and the London Resort I would have expected every household in Thurrock would have been made aware of this consultation. I did find out about the consultation and filled it in and was amazed to find some of the content included parts of Thurrock which were not notified. Orsett was not included in the consultation yet Baker Street, High Road and Rectory Road in Orsett had been marked as part of the highway traffic model extent. According to the London Resort these links were included due to the potential changes in traffic flows along the A13 which could impact upon local communities within the vicinity, so why were we not notified of the consultation? One map in the consultation showed the A13 wrongly marked as the A1089 from the end of Baker Street to Stanford roundabout, which was very worrying. In the "Limitations and uncertainties" section it stated that "At this time, the highway impacts of the proposals north of the river are unknown." That does not give me any confidence that our traffic flows have not been suitably assessed to know just how much the London Resort traffic will impact on our day to day lives. We already have extremely high levels of pollution from traffic moving to and from Tilbury Ports 1 and 2, DP World at Corringham, Amazon and other vast warehouses at Tilbury and at Lakeside, Proctor & Gamble in Purfleet along with so many other commercial establishments, so the traffic to and from Tilbury Park and Glide to the London Resort will only add to our suffering from pollution and congestion all over the borough of Thurrock. Thank you for your time and attention.
