The petition of residents of the constituency of Sevenoaks, including Swanley and the Dartford Villages,
Declares that the Lower Thames Crossing is crucial to easing the relentless congestion at the Dartford Crossing, which impacts thousands of residents every day; further declares that recent disruptions across the Dartford Villages, Swanley, Crockenhill, South Darenth, and Farningham have highlighted the urgent need for this project to progress without more delays; and notes that traffic congestion frequently results in missed medical appointments, slower commutes, and interruptions for emergency services trying to reach those in need; and further notes that an online petition on this matter has received 1318 signatures.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to take immediate action to expedite the delivery of the Lower Thames Crossing to alleviate the severe congestion and improve the lives of residents in the affected areas.
And the petitioners remain, etc.—[Presented by Laura Trott.]
