The Swanscombe Peninsula is home to a lot of rare flora and fauna and is an important flood plain for the Thames. It is very flooded at the moment. It is one of the few green/brown spaces in this area. We do not have the infrastructure to deal with all the extra traffic this would generate. We are frequently gridlocked due to the Dartford Crossing plus the A2 and Bluewater Shopping Centre, a theme park can only add to the traffic congestion. We are one of the most highly polluted areas in the country. We are over developed with housing due to the plans for Ebbsfleet Garden City. I do not believe the argument that it will provide local employment.
