Although I am not local to the area, I am fortunate enough to live in a rural area. During lockdown this has meant that not only have I had ample green space to exercise in but that I also look out on it. The benefits to both my physical and mental health have been huge. There is no doubt that it's helped me to get through this awful time. For the people living around this area the marsh has given them a space to share with nature and that's even more vital to people who have to live in cities and built up areas. At a time when people are truly realising the true value of green space for their health and wellness it is totally counterintuitive to destroy it for profit. It is a site filled with amazing wildlife and a microcosm of everything that is so valuable and precious. Please do not allow this site to be lost. Wildlife and people need it so badly and we must protect valuable sites for the generations yet to come
