I live within 50 yards of the new feeder road which would go from the orsett cock roundabout to the A13 and the new feeder road that will go from the A13 to the new lower thames crossing road both which will run straight past the front of my home at RM16 3BA this will bring massive amounts 0f pollution and noise dirct to my family and Highways England don't seem to think that there will be any impact on my Family Home which is rediculase as one of the roads will be elivated, on top of that the new major Lower Thames Crossing road is within about 200 yards from my family home and if the road did get the go ahead it Would not solve the problems suffered at the Dartford Crossing and no one would use it as an alterative route if there were delays as it would add a massive extra distance to a journe,it would Increase carbon emissions (around 6.6 million tonnes) and be a Waste of over £10bn+ of tax payers money and i am sure the total cost will be millions more, there would be Loss and impact to thousands of acres of farmland threatening food security and would Destroy and impact woodland , hedgerows, greenbelt have devastating impact on wildlife and habitat, inc protected species, Increase air and noise pollution as the whole route fails on WHO-10 levels for PM2.5. I have lived at my current address for over 20 years and this new road would destroy our home, in the latest plans Highways england have said that they need to move the water main that runs infront of out house into our garden and take wrights over part of our garden and to make it look better in planning they have called our garden an unmade track which is total lies.
