If this application is successful, then an outstanding SSSI together with its remarkable and diverse range of wildlife will be all but wiped out. The theme park can be built elsewhere, but Swanscombe Marshes is irreplaceable. Although I have never visted this site, I spent many happy days playing in similar sites when I was a youngster. My interest in insects derives directly from my first hand experience. For todays youngsters, sites like this are all they have left, and there are precious few of them now. This development would be the death nell, not only for a hugely rich resorse of endangered species, but also for the faith that ordinary people have in a system that is all we have to rely upon to protect our flora and forna, our natural homeland.
