My representation relates to the concerns I have with the following: 1) the plan as submitted does not resolve the issues with the existing crossing and therefore does not provide value to the taxpayer at the estimated cost, let alone the likely eventual cost 2) it destroys valuable agricultural land at a time when our economy needs it most 3) it is environmentally destructive in terms of loss of habitat and green space 4) it increases health risks to residents through increased noise, light and air pollution 5) it fails against WHO standard for PM2.5 6) it puts a huge barrier through the heart of Thurrock, dividing communities 7) the local roads WILL NOT cope with the extra traffic demands during the construction phase, placing additional strains on local communities 8) despite consuming huge areas of land, the LTC road system north of the river has serious shortcomings in terms of connectivity
