National Highways modelling already forecasts increased traffic volumes along the A228 south from the M2 junction 2 through Halling as a result of the Lower Thames Crossing proposals. This road is already frequently severely congested, even 3 times weekly causing regular rat-running through the narrow Halling High Street, with frequent jamming and consequent driver arguments. A vehicle passage restriction should be considered for Halling High Street to improve the safety and quality of life of Lower Halling villagers. No more development along this section of the A228 should be countenanced as the road infrastructure is inadequate already.
