Everything that City Hall has pushed out to justify this is total bollocks.

but I’m not sure this will do anything other than move part of a traffic jam from one tunnel to another
It will do what every new major road has ever done: increase motor traffic, noise, emissions and deaths while impeding short local journeys.

I think Sadiq’s heart is in the right place, he’s correct about East London being neglected through the decades (although I can count two crossings and a ferry rather than the one crossing he referenced) but I’m not sure this will do anything other than move part of a traffic jam from one tunnel to another.
And this argument makes no sense to me;
"And it will be in the Ultra Low Emission Zone, so the air afterwards will be cleaner than it is now - that's a win-win."
How can introducing new traffic to the locale produce cleaner air for the residents?
