As someone who has turned to nature during the on going pandemic as a way of improving his mental wellbeing, I find the possible removal of a site not far away that has provided the same benefits to local people in order for a theme park to be built completely staggering. Aside from the obvious environmental destruction of an area rich in biodiversity, the harm to wildlife and removal of an area used by countless migrating birds, the simple fact that along the river Thames countless housing is being built without a thought for recreational spaces, access to nature, transport infrastructure, in an area blighted by congestion caused by issues on the m25/Dartford tunnel/QE11 bridge. The addition of a theme park attracting millions of people will cause absolute chaos, it is clearly the wrong area and the wrong thing. I look forward to years of traffic problems, noise and anti-social behaviour complaints from the new housing developments that will be effected by this development.
