PLEASE STOP THURROCK GRIDLOCK DURING QE2 BRIDGE CLOSURES
1) Come up with a plan to avoid future disruption caused by closure of the bridge, both on the M25 and local surrounding roads (Thurrock / Lakeside / Grays / Purfleet) while we are waiting for the construction and opening of the new Lower Thames Crossing which will take at least 10 years to be in operation
2) Improve the speed at which accidents are dealt with and clean up operations are put in place
2) Improve the speed at which accidents are dealt with and clean up operations are put in place
Why is this important?
28-8-2018 - The QE2 Bridge was closed from 2.20pm and not fully re-opened until 6am the following morning.
During this time, local people and people from further afield were held up in hours and hours of delays with completely grid-locked traffic.
This is becoming more frequent as the area gets busier and more development takes place. There must be plans in place to stop total and utter gridlock to our area.
This not only disrupts local residents, it is detrimental to all the business who operate out of this area.
So many hours are lost due to sitting in un-necessary traffic jams!
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!!!
