My question in Prime Minister’s Questions yesterday #PMQ

I hope this becomes a big win for the people of Thurrock Insult has been added to injury with the cost of living crisis; council tax up over 50% AND services slashed! My plan will put's £10's of millions back where it belongs: ✅Front line services ✅The tax payers pocket

Lower Thames Crossing will wreck the Essex countryside while costing the taxpayer £10 billion without reducing congestion.

Do you want to turn $3.25 billion into $49 billion @RachelReevesMP ? Open letter from health + industry orgs and experts including @London_Cycling calls for investing 10% of transport budget in🚶‍♀️ For health ❤️‍🩹 for the economy 📈for the climate🌡️ forbes.com/sites/carltonr…

Shouldn't we be investing in 21st century infrastructure for future crossings of the Thames - not just a smart motorway?

Watch our latest Promo video - how light rail could be one of many solutions to support economic growth for north south river crossings! kenextransit.co.uk/kenex-project/ @Jim4Dartford @JamesReform @UK_Tram_ @CBTransport @TransportActio2 @transportgovuk @TNubnews

We would have preferred this £10bn mistake to have been cancelled for good, but we now have more time to make the compelling case against this £10bn sticking plaster

BREAKING! #LowerThamesCrossing decision delayed until May 2025! We welcome the delay which gives an opportunity for @LouHaigh to do something better Our full reaction here: transportactionnetwork.org.uk/lower-thames-c…

BREAKING - Lower Thames Crossing planning decision POSTPONED until 23 May 2025 "in order to allow more time for the application to be considered further, including any decisions made as part of the spending review" TCAG statement below questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statem…

An observation👀 None of the cheerleaders for £10bn Lower Thames Crossing, like Dartford MP @Jim4Dartford and road lobbyist group Britain Remade, participated in the DCO examination and actually know anything about the LTC! If they had, they'd know LTC is not fit for purpose

We are still waiting for the decision on the Lower Thames Crossing... If you haven't already, please write to Louise Haigh and urge her to divert funding from roadbuilding into public transport, active travel and road maintenance. actionnetwork.org/letters/help-g…


Improve Kent rail gauge to W12 is an important route to net zero. Reducing congestion at Dartford and beyond. Remove 129 HGVs per train from roads - Ashford 2 Reading should be a priority! @tcaginfo @BBCRadioKent @NetworkRailSE @KenExTram @transportgovuk kentandsurreybylines.co.uk/business/trans…


A view I would like to preserve rather than a motorway… #ltc #destruction #greenbelt #farmland #thurrock

While we wait for a decision from @LouHaigh on the #LowerThamesCrossing here's a few facts about the scheme that may be of interest (not often mentioned by National Highways): transportactionnetwork.org.uk/ltc-facts/ @NeilLancefield @GwynTopham @Philgeorgiadis @gillplimmer1 @benclatworthy


matt jackson Reposted

What's the point of building projects that are low value for money (BCR of LTC is just 1.22)? The £10bn Lower Thames Crossing will only provide 5yrs relief at Dartford, more expensive mile-for-mile than HS2. Investing in rail freight better value for money thamescrossingactiongroup.com/ltc-not-fit-fo…

Well said Kent Wildlife Trust: "The project itself can best be described as putting a sticky plaster on the problems currently experienced on the road network. The staggering cost of the Lower Thames Crossing could have been better spent implementing a green travel strategy"

⌛We are awaiting a decision on the Lower Thames Crossing. This development will result in the loss of ancient woodland and is an example of the short-sightedness of decision-makers to create a workable green travel strategy. Our statement 👉kentwildlifetrust.org.uk/lower-thames-c… Donate to…

We have filed a formal complaint to the Office for Rail and Road (ORR) about National Highways’ inappropriate attempts to influence the decision making process for the £9bn Lower Thames Crossing. transportactionnetwork.org.uk/complaint-file…


Totally agree £10bn spent on something that doesn’t address the issue…

The Lower Thames Crossing is the world's most expensive sticking plaster. @NationalHways' claims are simply not credible bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Anyone concerned at the continuation of the Tory's roads programme and wants it cancelled should write to @LouHaigh post haste We've made it easy to do: actionnetwork.org/letters/help-g… Savings should be split 3 ways: to reduce the deficit, fill potholes & for better public transport
