This particular area (Swanscombe peninsula wetland and dry scrubland) is extremely important to me and my family. It is one of the last undeveloped natural areas we have in Kent and extremely important for the future of the endangered and threatened wildlife species we encounter here. Also this unique marsh area is a vital natural flood plane. This peaceful, tranquil sanctuary that so many find vital in their quest for an escape from the constant bombardment of corporate opportunity and negative impact building on any wild spaces we have left which is very few. This plays a huge importance towards positive mental health and (thus also physical health)that only nature alone can provide us with. The more building and destruction that takes place, will create further negative impact on pollution levels (we already stand at one of the highest in UK) in this area.
