Your guide to phase two consultation

This booklet provides a quick and easy guide to the documents available as part of our phase two consultation.
The overriding aim of our public consultation on the Thames Tunnel project is to ensure that both community and technical consultees have a chance to understand and influence our proposals. We are currently seeking your views on the project including: the need for the project, including whether a tunnel is the most appropriate solution the alignment of the preferred route our preferred sites the preliminary environmental information we have gathered.

How to use this guide

Inside youll find commonly asked questions that will point you to the relevant documents, which will hopefully provide answers to your questions. We have three types of documents: project information papers, which provide general projectwide information that relates to the Thames Tunnel project site information papers, which provide general information that relate to each individual site along the route of the Thames Tunnel project supporting technical reports.

There are other project information papers and technical reports that may be of interest, as well as links to where you can find information on our phase one consultation material and the Infrastructure Planning Commission. We have also provided a full list of the documents and a brief description to help explain what information they contain.
