The residents of Grays Riverside (with Argent Street in the 2nd line of their address) have not been contacted even in the 5th consultation. Most people in Grays will not even know where Swanscombe Penninsula is, so mention of London Resort won’t mean anything to them. The properties in Grays Riverside are less than 250m from the park (as the crow flies) but have NOT been consulted. Major theme parks have car parks that are significantly deeper than this distance. IMO - the location, in such a built-up area, is totally inappropriate for a 12 million visit park. Tilbury (Grays) area is a working river with lots of large river traffic. To introduce more Clippers that the Pool of London has is a recipe for a disaster. 50 movements between Essex and Kent in a 2 hour period will make Fiddlers Reach to Tilbury Dock one of the busiest in the world. The river offers no soundproofing so this part of Essex will be battered 16 hours a day 365 days a year. Hoping they will not have nightly fireworks. Please note I have not mentioned the effect on the already chaotic roads or the compound effect of the LTC or the 50% more housing to be built in Thurrock.
