As Member of Parliament for South Basildon and East Thurrock I wish to make representations in person on a number of issues of great concern to my constituents, including but not limited to: Ability of the Lower Thames Crossing to actually relieve catastrophic congestion in Thurrock when the Dartford Crossing Fails. The Lack of connectivity of the Lower Thames Crossing to the existing road network, particularly in regard to connection to Tilbury port and the intersection with the A13/A1089. Challenges to the Traffic modelling which is based on numbers collected in 2016 prior to the many recent developments that have taken place. The overall environmental impact of the project and the impact on air quality. To raise concerns about the impact construction will have on the lives of those living in the local area. And more... To exam the claim that the LTC will bring economic development to Thurrock. Challenge the Cost/Benefit Ratio in light of rising construction cost. Challenge the LTC as being a value for Money project
