Opportunity South Essex (OSE) represents the Business Community across South Essex, covering the local authority areas of Thurrock, Brentwood, Basildon, Castle Point, Southend and Rochford. OSE is very supportive of the new Lower Thames Crossing because of the transformative effect it will have on the economy and prosperity of South Essex and North Kent. It will bring these two economies much closer, improving access to markets, employment and training opportunities. It will also significantly benefit UK plc more broadly by removing a significant bottleneck in the UK's transport network.
