I am opposed to the Lower Thames Crossing. It wouldn't fix things at the Dartford Crossing, and I believe the evidence actually shows it would make things worse. It is not worth the billions of pounds that is being proposed to be spent. It is not value for money, which could be better spent on other things. I don't believe that they have considered other alternatives that would be better. I am also very concerned that it would be a smart motorway by stealth, and there is nothing smart about smart motorways. It would also worsen air pollution in an area that is already suffering with bad pollution. Construction would cause disruption to the area, if it goes ahead, and impact residents, businesses, and communities. It would do a lot of harm and there would be no benefits.
