I live locally and am considered to be knowledgable enough of that environment to be asked to guide scouting groups. Swanscombe Marshes is an incredibly diverse environment for wildlife, with coast, wetlands, meadows and historic ruins. We need all that existing space to allow that diversity to survive. Birds fly over, unseen insects flee, discarded crab shells. It soaks up people too, whose space has been endlessly eroded by development. To see the tidal Thames and diverse habitats warms the soul more than the empty chrome and concrete of a theme park.
