Lower Thames Crossing: Delay could do 'harm' says financial expert
Tudor Price of the CEO Kent Chamber of Commerce is 'disappointed'
A financial expert has told us the Lower Thames Crossing delay could cause a lot of 'harm'.
A decision was expected on the future of the 14 mile road on Friday, but none was made.
Parliament are returning from recess today - it's believed they will be updated on the nine billion pound the road that will connect Gravesend and Thurrock.
Tudor Price is the CEO of the Kent Chamber of Commerce, he says a lot of people have been let down.
He said: "The government have talked a lot about needing 'growth' and there is a lot of people who have spent a lot of time, energy and money getting to this point.
"And it's incumbent on the government to make sure they give the right signal to the industry to people to plan and invest for the future because right now everyone is waiting to see what will happen.
"Businesses just want stability and certainty, they want to know there is a potential order book in front of them. That means they are willing to invest, speculate and upskill their team, growing in the process.
