Swanscombe Marshes is one of the very, very few areas left for nature in the UK. Over 250 species of invertebrate, whose numbers are already of concern, live here. We should be protecting this area not developing it into a money making machine. In the world that we live in today, where the loss of biodiversity is faster than ever before, we must make decisions that halt it. Not only because destruction of more wild places is the right thing to do, but because our own lives are depending on it. When nature collapses, how will we eat? How will we provide for ourselves? The UK is an awful example right now of development vs. Green spaces, let’s not lose another one. I do not want another theme park in the UK. We do not need another theme park. I am will visit areas of natural importance but no money will be made from me or others like me for supposed ‘economy boosting’ evils like this.
