New consultation launches this week

The proposed changes include:

• changes to the design of Tilbury Fields (a new public park on the north bank of the Thames) to make space for the planned Thames Freeport
  
  
• more public open space to the east of the tunnel entrance in Kent, connected to Chalk Park – the proposed new public park overlooking the Thames
  
  
• replacing an existing slip road with a new link from the Orsett Cock roundabout to the A1089 to reduce traffic impacts on some local roads
  
  
• a new footbridge over the A127 and further improvements for walkers, cyclists and horse riders including better bridleway connections around the A2 junction and the A226
  
  
• further improvements to our landscaping proposals
  
  
• further refinement of utility works to enable the project to be built
  
  
• refinements to the Order Limits, the land needed to build and operate the new road, as a result of proposed changes
  
  
• additional environmental compensation and mitigation
  
  

All information will be available on our dedicated consultation website from 00.01 on Thursday 12 May.
