Public meeting on Lower Thames Crossing
The meeting will include a presentation from the Department for Transport on the possible options and contributions from other interested parties including Dartford Borough Council Leader Jeremy Kite explaining the Council’s view that Dartford should not be home to a new crossing. There will then be plenty of time for questions and answers from local residents and businesses and an opportunity to get your voice heard.
Councillor Kite said, “The Dartford Crossing is a hugely controversial issue and this consultation is a fantastic opportunity to let the government know how strongly we feel. This meeting gives Dartford residents the chance to find out as much as they can and reply to the consultation before the closing date.”
The meeting will take place on Wednesday 10 July at 7pm in the Ballroom, Acacia Hall, Dartford DA1 1DJ. Doors open at 6.30pm and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
We are grateful to KCC for their support.

Dear Members & Readers, we received the following message from Simon Conder Greenhithe Marina:
ReplyDeleteI would have thought that building another crossing at Dartford defeats the point. Should the Government build a lower crossing then they would be well advised to put it somewhere where it is needed and provides the best transport solutions in the long run. And not, as it appears, try to justify an easier option at Dartford, where arguably a crossing might provide some temporary relief, if at all, but in the long run, ifs its simply the wrong option, then that option will do the most harm of all.
