Silvertown Tunnel activists jet-wash message onto Thames riverbank
Local campaigners have jet-washed the message "Stop The Tunnel" onto the Thames Embankment near the proposed route of the Silvertown Tunnel.
The message was jet-washed in block capitals onto the Thames Embankment near to where the tunnel will be built, and officials were later seen removing the graffiti from the river bank.
The campaigners say this "is just a taste of what is to come as anger grows" over Transport for London's decision to allow the controversial crossing across the Thames to go ahead.
The £1.2 billion project, which will link Silvertown and Greenwich Peninsula, has been a longstanding point of controversy, with opponents claiming it is incompatible with environmental aims.
