Require urgent action on severe dust and air pollution from Lower Thames Crossing works affecting East Tilbury, Tilbury and nearby Thurrock residents.
Residents in East Tilbury, Tilbury and surrounding Thurrock have faced severe dust and air pollution from Lower Thames Crossing works for months. Dust is affecting homes, gardens, cars and the local environment, with many residents making repeated complaints. People are increasingly unable to open windows, doors or enjoy their gardens normally. We are calling for urgent action, effective dust controls, independent air-quality monitoring and proper enforcement to protect residents.
