That the planned access from A2 onto the tunnel approach road is inadequate. At this point the number of lanes is reducing from existing. The design relies on the Smart motorway principle which is now outdated and dangerous. Traffic congestion is inevitable. There will be excessive pollution very close to housing and schools. Public footpaths are being removed. In particular a very popular and picturesque route from Riverview park to Shorne Country park . The green bridge designed to replace it will be noisy and there will be a risk from pollution to pedestrians. The area adjoining the A2 is already exceedeing Nitrate guidelines. The increased traffic will make it dangerous.
