FURTHER to my earlier letter kindly published on public apathy in Thurrock I notice there has been a public meeting in Gravesham to discuss the third Thames Crossing, organised by the Gravesham anti-crossing lobby group.
Their MP attended the meeting to update people on his recent meeting with the Secretary of State for Transport.
The MP is reported as saying “if by some bizarre urge to splurge money and ruin this area they do end up selecting our countryside, we will have a hell of a fight on our hands”.
Sounds like they are a lot more charged up than Thurrock people and seems like both sides of the river would be well placed to work together.
