A strong voice for Eltham and Plumstead

Clive calls for Mayor to build third crossing at Blackwall to end congestion nightmare

Date: 10th December 2009

Clive is calling for a third crossing to be built alongside the existing Blackwall tunnels to end the congestion nightmare on the tunnel approach.

As well as a road Clive wants the new crossing to bring the Docklands Light Railway to North Greenwich. “It is not enough just to build an extra road, we must expand public transport options as well,” he explained.

Clive is asking that TfL then look to bring the DLR to Eltham along the corridor of the A102. “I know this suggestion will raise some eyebrows but I make no apology for putting this area on the map when future transport options are being considered.”

The Mayor for London is holding a consultation on transport strategy and Clive wants to hear your views on plans for a third Blackwall crossing, the extension of the DLR and any other issues that you think should be considered.
