I object to the LTC proposal for the the following reasons: *The proximity to the populated area of Ockendon *The impact on our listed buildings including St Nicholas church on the green. *The impact of the construction on our very limited road network. *The spiralling costs of the project *The fact that the proposals are not fit for purpose and will not provide a solution only create more problems. *The disregard for better locations that would have less affect large populations and reduce the traffic in an already congested area. *The impact of construction on local residents including noise and pollution *The impact of welfare sites for construction workers and all the extra vehicles in the area. *The dividing of thousands of people by the construction of a motorway through the area *The decimation of precious green belt and wood land surrounding this already polluted area. *The total devastation on residents health in the area directly impacted by the pollution of a new motorway and all the non electric cars and long distance, European lorries driving pass our neighbourhood. *The creation of a toxic triangle with exiting A13 + A127 + M25 is unfair *The way National Highways had conducted the consultation: limiting access to plans, information and using ridiculously complicated online forms where you had to open very specialist detailed specs to answer any questions (hours of work): not inclusive and events have been limited in there location and access with time and place.
