I am concerned about construction traffic using Green Farm Lane as a cut through from the Lower Higham Road to the Gravesend Road (this is a common problem that would become exacerbated once construction is underway. It is a country lane and excessive/overweight/fast traffic is dangerous and invasive. Further my concern is that once the tunnel is constructed that Green Farm Lane (which should be a quiet country lane) will be used as a 'rat run' should there be issues with congestion on the A2 and Gravesend Rochester Road. What plans have been or will be put in place to ensure that Green Farm Lane remains unaffected by constrution and post construction. A solution would be to close off the top of the Lane where it meets with Gravesend/Rochester Road.
