I am concerned that there is no provision to link the crossing to the M20. I have said this in previous submissions. Only providing more crossing capacity is not enough if the traffic then pours onto the M2 going to the coast. The M2 only has two lanes and roundabouts at its Eastern end. traffic for the Continent will try to use the A249 (Detling Hill) to get to the M20. This is steep in places and will be a dangerous route. I am also concerned with an article published by the Times recently which described just how unfit for purpose our planning process is. It used as an example the Lower Thames Crossing and the documentation required which was more than 600,000 pages! I'm [Redacted] and would like to see the project completed in my lifetime!
