Having lived on another area of marshland, the Walthamstow Marshes in London, for 15 years, I have seen the variety of wildlife this type of environment supports, and its great value to the local community. Neither can be overstated. Swanscombe is recommended to be a SSSI. It is a habitat for hundreds of species of conservation concern. The UK has lost a huge percentage of its flora and fauna over my lifetime, an observable fact that I notice as the seasons change every year. Building a theme park over a site such as Swanscombe is hugely inappropriate for the site and for our times, and I strongly object to it.
