My main points are the many points of pollution that the road will cause, and that the road will be the 3rd side of a triangle that will totally encircle Sth ockendon by major roads. The fact that there are better routes, causing less pollution , costing less, and asking how can the country afford the billions this road will cause at the present time. Many of extra trees being planted into a wood are in Brentwood which has enough country parks already and not next to the road in Thurrock where the actual road will run. My concerns about the loss of wildlife land and corridors, the lack of electrical charging points along the route =nil. The fact the road will not be classes as a motorway, and only two lanes in areas, and no hard shoulder (with all the dangers that presents) .the fact that most people ,in Thurrock and east London do not have access to this road.
