Focus of work
Thames Crossing Action Group represents thousands of people who are opposed to the proposed Lower Thames Crossing (LTC).
The hugely destructive and harmful proposed LTC is currently estimated to cost over £10bn and create 6.6 million tonnes of carbon emissions. If built, it would destroy homes, lives, health, communities, greenbelt, solar farms, grade 1 listed agricultural land, ancient woodland, wildlife and habitats, the environment, and so much more.
Impact
Thames Crossing Action Group has already scored a significant victory as National Highways was forced to withdraw its first Development Consent Order (DCO) application to avoid Planning Inspectorate (PINS) refusing it in 2020. The group’s 51 page ‘inadequacies of consultation’ report for PINS contributed to this significant delay.
The group continues to maintain a high profile on social media, and continues to gain national and local media attention to help expose all the reasons why the proposed LTC should be scrapped.
