we have a plant hire business adjacent to the ASDA roundabout on Dock Road, Tilbury. we have been told that the ferry part of TLR using Tilbury Docks will not have an adverse impact on the existing and future commercial businesses in the immediate vicinity. We disagree and any new non dock related traffic will have an adverse impact on our business and growth. We chose to locate to this site due to our requirement to have high quality and free access to the major arterial routes to transport our hire assets to our customers. We we told that ferry traffic will be "off-peak". Tilbury's commercial activity operates 24/7 so that cannot be true. TLR have not undertaken sufficient investigations or consulted with the majority of Tilbury occupiers. We require every square foot of our 6 acre open storage depot and any Compulsory Purchase of of any part of our land by TLR will have a severely negative impact on our £9m Tilbury business.
