Gravesham Neighbourhood Forums Joint
Meeting
on
the Lower Thames
Crossing
Highways England has been consulting on proposals for
a new crossing east of London.
The Gravesham Neighbourhood Forums held a joint
public debate, at St John’s School in Gravesend on 02 March
2016, about the routes proposed for the Lower Thames Crossing and
what they mean for Gravesend and surrounding areas.
The audience heard directly from Martin Potts,
Consultation Manager at Highways England, and from Dr Hilary
Newport, Director of CPRE Kent. Members of the audience were able
to ask questions and share their views during the
meeting.
The meeting was webcast and the recording is now
available at https://youtu.be/EZKyJcjYbwU.
Questions submitted in advance by email or during the
meeting via Twitter, together with responses from Highways England,
Kent County Council and Gravesham Borough Council, have been
collated and are
available here.
Please
Note:
The joint Forums meeting and the questions
raised in person, or via email or
Twitter, did not form part of Highways
England’s official consultation.
To
ensure
that views were taken into
account by Highways England, the formal consultation questionnaire
needed to be completed.
More information is available from Highways
England, including the option to sign up for future
updates:
