As a nature lover, I believe that the preservation of wildlife habitats is essential and should be prioritised. I am opposed to the proposed development of Swanscombe Marsh. The area has been recognised as a Site of Special Scientific Interest by Natural England. It is a valuable refuge for people as well as for wild life. We crush our wild creatures and cement over them at our peril. "What is man without beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts soon happens to man. All things are connected" (Chief Seattle 1854)
