Submit your views NOW – Lower Thames Crossing Consultation
New images showing plans for The Lower Thames Crossing have been released as the project began its next phase of public consultation on the 29th January. This further consultation into Highways England’s proposed Lower Thames Crossing gives people the chance to have their say on latest changes to the multi-billion pound project.
The changes have been made after detailed analysis of the 29,000 responses received during the last consultation held in 2018, and new technical information following surveys and ground investigations.
