We support the Lower Thames Crossing project as a vital piece of infrastructure for road resilience and contingency planning when other routes are unable to be used. We believe it will have economical benefits to the Eastern and South Eastern regions. Our industry relies on having roads which allow vehicles to complete journeys which have consistent, reliable and predictable journey times. We believe the Lower Thames Crossing project will help to achieve this aim in this area. One particular issue that we would like to see improved/solved within the project is the inclusion of commercial vehicle driver facilities. Facilities are vital for the commercial vehicle drivers on our roads and we believe this should be considered within the scope of this application.
