We are concerned about the impact the Crossing and new roads will have on the area around Thurrock where we live. Initially, the work which will be required during the build process will be extremely disruptive and cause a huge amount of pollution and noise. This area is an important site for nature and particularly migrating birds which will lose a massive area of suitable land. Also the massive impact that the increased lorry traffic which will have on our narrow country lanes both from a safety perspective and also a pollution perspective. The volume of road traffic in the area is already so big, due to the increased building of new houses and the restrictions of access caused by the existing level crossing, causing severe traffic queues in and out of East Tilbury. The main concern after completion will be the huge increase in traffic pollution from the new road which will run very close to our village. We need more green space for our health not more pollution. This road will not help the people living here during our daily lives, there will be no improvement to our local journeys at all.
