Swanscombe Peninsula has just been designated as an SSSI. It's a biodiverse site which is home to many rare birds, plants, and invertebrates, as well as locally important animal populations. I'm particularly concerned about the invertebrates. Insects are in decline globally. Swanscombe has 250 invertebrate species of conservation concern, including nationally endangered bees, spiders, beetles and wasps, and the critically endangered Distinguished Jumping Spider. Habitat like this when lost cannot be replaced. Please ensure that it is preserved for future generations. They need Swanscombe as it is, not yet another theme park.
