We are opposed to the proposed Lower Thames Crossing as it is totally destructive, creates a toxic triangle and will still leave Dartford Crossing over capacity

Appalling decision by the government, throwing good money after bad. Apparently we don't have money for the elderly, disabled and SEND kids, but we can find billions for expensive and polluting road schemes like A38 Derby and Lower Thames Crossing? Sending🫂to Stop the A38 Expansion 🍃💚🍃


Department for Transport The government needs to stop making empty promises and actually support making our roads safer by moving freight onto rail. transportactionnetwork.org.uk/funding-for-1-…

The Labour Party Why the picture of a shiny train, when most of the money is being splurged on outdated road schemes, like £10bn Lower Thames Crossing and £2bn A66? Funny there's no ££ for disabled, elderly and SEND kids, but money to burn for road schemes that only benefit construction companies

Keir Starmer Can you explain why the government has failed to announce funding for Ely and Haughley junctions, a rail freight scheme that has a far superior value compared to the many roads funded today? transportactionnetwork.org.uk/labour-splurge…

More poor value road schemes being given the go-ahead today, along with the £10bn Lower Thames Crossing. The government is wasting money on expensive white elephant road schemes, whilst cutting money from the poorest in society. PIP paying for roads 😪😡 transportactionnetwork.org.uk/labour-splurge…


In a message to the mass climate lobby Keir Starmer forgot transport (the biggest sector for emissions) and how his government has just funded 33 roads, increasing CO2 emissions by millions of tonnes How is that "unwavering commitment to climate action"? theguardian.com/environment/20…

Other options for crossing the Thames near Dartford had never been properly explored and were dismissed on the flimsiest of reasons in 2009! Our report, based on the research by Jonathan Roberts, shows there are alternatives to the Lower Thames Crossing transportactionnetwork.org.uk/essex-kent-sup…

Since coming into existence (as Highways England) in 2015, National Highways has spent a fraction of its huge budgets on safety schemes, with the vast majority going on schemes to increase road capacity, including so-called “Smart motorways” transportactionnetwork.org.uk/road-safety-re…






Thames Crossing Action Group Transport Action Network National Highways is an organisation without morals, they care not a jot for these very unfortunate people who will lose their homes to compulsory purchase.

Transport Action Network Brilliant to see alternatives that don’t cost the earth! This research is vital for greener transport systems 🚗
