FYI below. Invitation from No to Silvertown Tunnel. All welcome.<br />
</p>
<p>
----------------------------<br />
</p>
<p>
You may have heard of the <em>Silvertown Tunnel</em>, a plan for a new road link from the Royal Docks to the Greenwich Peninsula, feeding into the A102 and A2 through Greenwich borough. It’s being promoted by the <em>Mayor of London</em>, and is being supported by <em>Greenwich Council</em>.
</p>
<p>
While the tunnel’s being promoted as a cure for congestion, it’s actually likely it’ll make jams worse. Studies show that building new roads merely generates more traffic - and more congestion will only worsen the terrible air quality in this area, blighting the lives of thousands of residents.
</p>
<p>
We’ve done our <a href="http://www.silvertowntunnel.co.uk/our-study/what-we-did/?utm_source=publicmeeting&utm_medium=email&utm_content=our-study&utm_campaign=131016">own air pollution study</a>, and <a href="http://www.silvertowntunnel.co.uk/our-study/greenwich-borough-laqm/?utm_source=publicmeeting&utm_medium=email&utm_content=rbg-figures&utm_campaign=131016">obtained figures from Greenwich Council</a> which reveal the shocking state of the air in our borough - and yet the council’s leadership chooses to ignore its own statistics to back a project which will make matters worse.
</p>
<p>
For the sake of local people’s health, both Boris Johnson and Greenwich Council need to think again about these proposals.
</p>
<p>
We’ll be revealing these figures, and discussing the impact of a possible tunnel, at a public meeting on <strong>Wednesday 16th October</strong> at the <strong>Forum Greenwich, Trafalgar Road, London SE10 9EQ</strong>, from <strong>7pm</strong>.
</p>
<p>
Our guests will include <strong>Sian Berry</strong> of the <em>Campaign for Better Transport</em>, <strong>Simon Birkett</strong> of <em>Clean Air London</em>, transport consultant <strong>John Elliott</strong> and air quality expert <strong>Dr Ian Mudway</strong>, of <em>King’s College London</em>.
</p>
<p>
We hope you can join us on 16th October. We’ve also published material on our new website - <a href="http://www.silvertowntunnel.co.uk/?utm_source=publicmeeting&utm_medium=email&utm_content=personal&utm_campaign=131016">www.silvertowntunnel.co.uk</a>.
</p>
<p>
With best wishes,
</p>
<p>
Everybody at No to Silvertown Tunnel
