Yes travelling for the North of England or Wales to get around London to Europe is a nightmare journey.
Do I think Her Majesty’s Government will build Lower Thames Crossing faster, cheaper and with less environmental impact?
No.

Three lanes for motor vehicles, 2.6 miles long, set to become the largest tunnel in Europe!
Estimated cost £12 billion+.

Draining the transport budget.

Struggling to follow Rachel Reeves’ claim that the #LowerThamesCrossing is a turning point for national infra. Throwing unreal money at massive schemes that worsen traffic and yet again failing to invest in community travel up and down the country is a 60-yr-old broken record, not a new direction

Also unconscionable that the #LowerThamesCrossing doesn’t include any rail provision?

The LTC announcement was a disappointment for our community. Today, I asked if we can use a portion of toll revenue generated from the LTC to support the return of the Tilbury-Gravesend ferry— I'll keep pushing for real transport solutions for local people. 🚢🚗 #LowerThamesCrossing #Gravesham

With current sea level rise predictions, by 2100 the Lower Thames Crossing tunnel will be a crucial part of SE England’s flood relief infrastructure as it fills with water.

BBC not telling us how much irreplaceable ancient woodland or flood defence marshes or biodiversity will be lost #LowerThamesCrossing. These are the really important things @channel4news.bsky.social

It won't be in use until 2032 but the new Thames Crossing has been approved with a 2 mile tunnel so plenty of topsoil going soon.By normal rules of govt infrastructure it will be cancelled in 2030 & eventually built at 5 times the budget in 2041. #LowerThamesCrossing www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There’s LOADS I don’t like about this #LowerThamesCrossing - it’s car & lorry focussed, doesn’t even include a rail option, mainly benefits a particular corner of the generally prosperous & super-served the South East, & this smallish project will harm as much ancient woodland as all of HS2!

Dartford MP Jim Dickson: "For far too long governments have dodged making a decision on the Lower Thames Crossing, leaving Dartford residents to endure endless gridlock."
Now Gravesend and Tilbury can share in the misery.
"Trebles all round!", cry the road lobbyists.

A network of horse-riding routes - near the borders of Brentwood, Havering and Thurrock, a network of horse-riding routes between Thames Chase Forest and South Ockendon and open green spaces such as the Mardyke and Little Belhus Park. Two new bridges across the A127 will also help connect Cranham, Folkes Lane Woodland and Hole Farm community woodland. These new bridges open up the possibility of one day being able to create an uninterrupted route between Hole Farm community woodland, Thames Chase Forest and the Mardyke. In Kent, improved connections north and south of the A2, between Shorne Woods Country Park, Ashenbank Woodland and Jeskyns Community Woodland. Our plans also include a new bridleway parallel to Church Road. A replacement route for National Cycle Route 177 (NCR 177) - NCR 177 will be permanently rerouted south of the A2 (parallel with the High Speed 1 railway line), between a point close to Park Pale bridge (near Shorne) and Valley Drive (Gravesend). During construction of the Lower Thames Crossing, NCR 177 will be rerouted further south and will run through Ashenbank Wood and Jeskyns Community Woodland. A new 1.8-mile foot and cycle path - separated from road traffic, will provide a safer and easier way to commute between East Tilbury, Linford and Chadwell St Mary. Improved foot and cycle path - between the local community and heritage sites such as Coalhouse fort and East Tilbury Battery.
You're being fobbed off with some shared use pavements

Why would we build the #LowerThamesCrossing which will choke the south east with more traffic and will only provide 5 years traffic relief at Dartford?
No one is questioning its cost or effectiveness or why a new rail link was never seriously considered

Anyone championing building high carbon infrastructure to boost growth such as #Heathrow, #Gatwick or the #LowerThamesCrossing should be aware they could be stimulating an economic downturn

We look forward to seeing how these investments will help deliver a more connected, resilient, and future-ready UK economy.

.@RachelReevesMP says cancelling road projects was a tough decision. Politically tough, true, but new roads give lousy value for money & worsen climate change. Axeing the #LowerThamesCrossing would pay for 5+ yrs of the winter fuel payment.

If Louise Haigh really believes what she is saying about active travel, she will axe the climate-trashing #lowerthamescrossing and free up billions, plus human resources, for active travel & public transport www.theguardian.com/politics/art...
