In a broad sense I support the principle of the lower Thames crossing between Kent and Essex. I believe for optimum outcomes for the economies of Kent and Essex, the South East Region, the Environment, and the local communities; I believe the best points for the crossing are east of Gravesend and east of Southend in Essex. This will relieve traffic, congestion and pollution at the Dartford crossing and Thurrock and reduce pollution there. It will also open-up the areas of East Anglia and reduce congestion on the M25 north of the River Thames. It should not encroach on the wildlife and bird breading areas of the Thames estuary.
