I have lived in []for nearly 50 years and have watched the recreational spaces shrink as the "brown field" sites have been built upon. Swanscombe Marshes is the last oasis of wildlife in an otherwise concrete and congested neighborhood. I regularly walk there with my dog and enjoy watching the buzzards and marsh harriers quartering across the reed beds. There are several breeds of warblers that nest amongst the reeds and there is still a small heronry clinging on despite the trees they used to nest in being cut down a few years ago. To destroy this small oasis of nature would in my opinion be a crime, and I strongly urge you to reject this unnecessary development.
