I live in []. We have the Legoland resort here. At the peak times - bank holiday weekends, half-term, and weekends in the summer holidays traffic entering and leaving Legoland at the beginning and end of the day can cause gridlock for hours in the area between Windsor, Bray and Bracknell. This is well known in the area. I expect the lessons of Legoland to be learnt for London Resort. I fear that there are not enough parking spaces for the staff (who are likely to need to be at work before public transport has got going) and visitors. I also fear that car occupancy and the use of public transport are over-estimated by the applicant. Furthermore, I know that the existing Dartford Crossing often also has long waiting times. It is inconceivable to me that the existing road network, especially the strategic road network, could cope with the additional traffic for the London Resort and it must be the case that the Lower Thames Crossing will need to be open before the London Resort and this should be a condition of any consent. It may even be that the Lower Thames Crossing will need to be upgraded to accommodate this traffic as it may not have been designed for it.
