I object to the Lower Thames Crossing as it will place a large residential area along with its surrounding green fields and recreational areas within a ring of major roads causing pollution of all types. It is doubtful that it will afford any practical benefit and has already cost a large amount of money in pointless applications etc. The projected overall cost periodically rises by billions like many "public" works - who knows how much it will finally be? The crossing is not needed and not wanted. It flies in the face of promises to cut pollution and the need to provide residents in the area with safe living conditions and good health. It is anti so many things that are good for humans, serving only those benefit from degrading other peoples lives. There are better ways of doing things.
