The Lower Thames Crossing will not solve the problems at the Dartford Crossing. The Dartford Crossing will still be over capacity. The Lower Thames Crossing will have a devastating affect on the environment coming close to school sports fields, recreational areas and highly populated areas. The Lower Thames Crossing will have huge impacts on ancient woodlands, prime agricultural land and the green belt, which is totally unacceptable in a climate emergency. Firstly, the M25 should be completed and all other cheaper options considered. The current cost estimates of the Lower Thames Crossing are at least two years out of date. These figures will at least double. Which in my opinion is a complete waste of tax payers money.
