Tories stalling over Lower Thames Crossing

Mike Le-Surf on the Thames

Mike Le-Surf responds to further delays in Lower Thames Crossing indecision

"After nearly 4 years in government the Tories are still to make a decision regarding the need and location of a new crossing over the Thames. There has been no leadership nationally from the Conservatives as the local Tory MPs wait faithfully for transport minister Patrick McLouglin to show his hand. Last summer residents in East Thurrock, and especially Orsett, were asked to put their faith in their current MP to represent them at meetings with the minister. They are still waiting for a definitive response. Option B has been rejected so the odds are now stacked further against the residents of South Basildon and East Thurrock. The government needs to come clean about their real intentions and put an end to this indecision.". Thurrock Gazette story here:      http://www.thurrockgazette.co.uk/news/10901505.East_Thurrock_MP_candidate_angry_at_government_for_delay_in_Lower_Thames_Crossing_decision/
