I do not wish this crossing, which will be of no useful purpose at all, to run across the fields at the back of my property. We’re being told to plant more trees to help with air quality etc. What about the woodlands etc. that will be destroyed? It’s no good saying new ones will be planted - they’ll take 50 plus years to reach the size of established trees! What about the disruption to wildlife - does no one care? All for the sake of a new road, which isn’t needed. If the current Thames crossing was organised correctly, there would be no need for this massive expenditure which our country surely cannot afford.
