Today, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, set out the government’s commitment to delivering the Lower Thames Crossing. She said: “We will work with a private sector to deliver the infrastructure that our country desperately needs. This includes the Lower Thames Crossing which will improve connectivity at Dover, Felixstowe and Harwich, alleviating severe congestion as goods destined to export come from the North, and the Midlands and across the country to markets overseas. To drive and deliver value for money for taxpayers we are exploring options to privately finance this important project.” Click here to read more: https://lnkd.in/eeay8jHr

Today we hosted a listen and learn with Tarmac, discussing social value, inclusion and diversity within construction and how the #LowerThamesCrossing will leave a lasting legacy for our local communities. Thanks to all those who took part!
We were delighted to collaborate with the Lower Thames Crossing team to host an engaging 'Listen and Learn' session focused on social value, inclusion, and diversity in infrastructure delivery. The event brought together industry leaders from both Tarmac and the Lower Thames Crossing to share insights, best practices, and our collective vision for creating lasting positive impacts on communities and the environment. Key highlights included: - A deep dive into the Lower Thames Crossing’s social value strategy, led by Natalie Bonnick MCIPS, Lawrence Vasu - Chartered MCIPD, and Lauren Edmunds. - An introduction to Tarmac’s refreshed Social Value Policy, presented by Charlotte Hobster, outlining our renewed commitments and focus areas for 2025. - A Q&A session where we explored opportunities to collaborate on skills development, influence social value delivery, and maximise the long-term benefits of this transformative project. As Natalie Bonnick MCIPS from Lower Thames Crossing emphasised: "Our local communities are at the heart of what we do, and we will ensure to work in partnership with them throughout the entire project. So, it’s brilliant that we have this opportunity to work very closely with Tarmac and the wider supply chain to ensure we deliver the Lower Thames Crossing in the best way, not just ensuring that our project is delivered with minimal carbon impact but also making it beneficial for our local communities." Tarmac's National Business Development Director, Alex Wright, added: "The Lower Thames Crossing is a project of generational significance that will have a profound impact on the area, not only in terms of operations but also economically, by enhancing connectivity and efficiency, as well as benefiting the local community. Its focus on social value gives us the opportunity to make a meaningful difference." Thank you to our presenters, Natalie Bonnick MCIPS, Victoria King, Lauren Edmunds, Lawrence Vasu - Chartered MCIPD, Louise Houston, Charlotte Hobster, Alex Wright and Andrew Rowley, and to all who joined us for the Listen and Learn session. Together, we’re building infrastructure that benefits everyone.

NEW VIDEO: ‘tis the season for joy and giving…thanks to the UK's freight industry. Europa Worldwide Group's distribution hub relies on the nearby #Dartford Crossing as it is the only route to the east of #London for the goods they carry between Europe and every corner of the UK, including turkeys for the dinner table and presents for under the tree. Congestion and delays at the Dartford Crossing adds huge cost all year round, and means staff are stuck on the road rather than at home with friends and family. The #LowerThamesCrossing will ease congestion by offering an alternative route over the Thames and is critical for their local hub and work across the whole country.

This week, we held a Christmas party at our local offices with our Delivery Partner Balfour Beatty plc, for local residents from Re-engage #Thurrock & Age UK #Havering. Read more from Lauren Edmunds below and thanks to all those who took part! 🎄🎉🎅
To continue the festive celebrations this week, yesterday we held a Christmas tea party at the Lower Thames Crossing offices for local elderly residents from Re-engage #Thurrock & Age UK #Havering. We also had the pleasure of involving one our local SEND schools, Treetops to support and take part in the event. One group of students baked some lovely cakes for the afternoon tea and also attended the event to help serve their cakes to our visitors. Later on, another group of students attended the event and sang some songs to the attendees - this was such a lovely treat for all involved! We then finished off the afternoon with a game of bingo and a Christmas quiz. Events like these are so important for us to support, unfortunately the elderly community can feel quite socially isolated, especially during the Christmas season. We were so pleased to be able to bring them all together and provide them with a fun filled festive afternoon. Thank you so much to all the volunteers that helped out – Maya Registe Jasvir K Sandhu Mairead Jessop, Rebecca Handley, Natalie Curtis Nicole Preston MSc IEng MICE Keith Howell Annamarie Compton Stephen Jagger Lawrence Vasu - Chartered MCIPD Lucy Hanston & Tom Astley!
