As a local resident, I have views on the planned development, process and benefits proposed from this solution. It is clear that the costs of the project has increased significantly and that the solution does not, but your own data, actually solve the issue of the Dartford Crossing being over capacity, by a significant amount. There are environmental / health considerations also, with the Thurrock borough already being considered to have poor air quality, there can be no doubts that this development (during both construction and it's ongoing use) will worsen this, which contradicts the air quality commitments that the UK Government has publicly made. Further, the development will cause widespread traffic chaos and congestion in an area which has been subject to recent A13 developments; which has a significant impact on our ability to live.
