Swanscombe is a wonderful mosaic of coastal habitats, grasslands, scrub and wetlands supporting over 250 invertebrate species of conservation concern, including the Critically Endangered Distinguished Jumping Spider (Attulus distinguendus), which is found on only one other site in the UK. It is home to nationally rare and endangered bees, spiders, beetles, wasps and a host of other invertebrates that make the site of national importance. Swanscombe Peninsula is just the wrong place for a theme park- we must value our precious wildlife more than theme parks.
