I strongly object to this scheme as it is not good value for money, it would not solve the problems of the Dartford Tunnel but will induce traffic, has no adequate connections for public transport, would increase noise and air pollution (the whole route fails WHO-10 targets for PM 2.5) and most important to me it would needlessly destroy wildlife habitats including ancient woodland and good agricultural land (where we should be growing food). What is the point of areas having designations or wildlife protection legislation if they are to be ignored every time National Highways wants to create more road space and thus induce more traffic? Predict and Provide was a failed policy and yet thirty years on, it is still being used to destroy our one planet, during a declared CLIMATE EMERGENCY!
