I am opposed to the routing of the LTC south of the river Thames based on the following: 1 Option C was incorrectly promoted with an unsubstantiated claim for local benefits 2 The plans do not incorporate improvements at Bluebell Hill or along the A2 3 Freight routes have changed since LTC was proposed; traffic simulation needs review 4 The route includes a steep road section, near Chalk, which increases air pollution 5 The air pollution situation at Dartford has changed with rising number of BEV 6 Local opinion was gauged regularly but not incorporated in plans (eg footpath along lower higham road) 7 Chalk aquifer / marshes are ill-suited for this build, chemical fortification is ill-advised
