• the proposed route will not meet it's primary commitment of reducing congestion on the Dartford Crossing and is therefore a waste of tax payers money. - the construction as planned will not deliver a route that meets the Air Pollution limits as is required in government guidelines. - as a resident not 500 metres from the proposed route , neither i or other residents in Thurrock get any benefit from the construction but have to endure up to 10 years of construction traffic, noise and air pollution. - NH have deliberately withheld information about this proposal despite frequent requests. - the design of the junction with A13, A1013, A1089 & Manorway is going to increase congestion for local traffic, even worse than existing congestion at Dartford Crossing. - many areas of ancient woodlands, SSSP designated areas and other wildlife will be devastated. - for many residents in my age group [Redacted] the construction period will devastate our last remaining years, likely reducing our life expectancy with no actual benefit to the area. - in a period when we should be reducing traffic on or road systems, utilising rail and sea routes instead, this is totally the wrong plan, on the wrong route if we are to meet our part in the world wide move on reducing CO2 & other harmful gases in the atmosphere.
