TRANSPORT for London has launched a consultation on plans on plans to create new ways to cross the Thames.
A tunnel from North Greenwich to Silvertown would create new road capacity in the area and also allow tall vehicles to cross the river.
TFL is also proposing a new vehicle ferry is also proposed between Thamesmead and Becton.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said last month that he would like to see the new Silvertown crossing built within ten years.
Nick Raynsford commented:
“While the Silvertown link is very welcome and will help to relieve the acute congestion which frequently affects the Blackwall Tunnel, the Mayor’s proposals for a ferry at Gallions Reach is an unsatisfactory alternative for the Thames Gateway Bridge.
The closing date for responses to the consultation is March 5th.
Raynsford is only happy when all his dodgy building mates get all the contracts for greenwich work!
Who pays for empty busses ? An underused resource, Londoners are now questioning why the majority of Londons busses appear to spend most of their lives empty. They create congestion and polution and appear to have no use other than the provision of another Public Service Worker job creation scheme.
