This project of building these new tunnels will effect the air quality of this area, so will push up c20 emissions that I thoughts the government were meant to be reducing! Even more traffic in this area, already get bad hold ups because of the QE 2 bridge, A 13, and the M 25. My next worry is the wildlife and habitats of all the areas around this. Loosing home, feeding places and surrounding of ancient woodland, extra noises as if we haven’t got enough. Lighting of all this will disturb wildlife and upset the balance of everything for them. This will also loose reptiles,rare insects, water voles and who knows what. The countryside suffers greatly to which it can NEVER be replaced. Our area is already one big mass of roads, and industrial areas our air quality is already bad, our noise levels are terrible, peace and tranquility is NOT something we have anymore. It would be even worse and for those of us that cannot move away we have to put up with it, by no fault of our own. I cannot understand why this is still going on, it breaks our hearts that this will NOT benefit our area even though we are being told it will with jobs etc, but when it is built they will have no jobs. If all these people who choice to only see the good of this crossing, perhaps you would like to live here and put up with it. We won’t be able to sit in our gardens with our children and Grandchildren because of noise and pollution STOP RUINING OUR LIVES AND WILDLIFE NOW!!!!
