As a local resident to [] I have great concern about the destruction and disturbing of wildlife and habitats if London Resorts goes ahead. I walk the marshes every day and see the changes of wildlife and fauna with the seasons. I have realised what a fantastic place of nature we have on our doorstep and especially during this lockdown have seen the many people enjoying the peace and quite of such a beautiful environment. It is quite obvious the amount of stress relief people get from walking the marshes, and how important these kind of places are to our mental health. I believe the destruction of Swanscombe Marshes would be an absolute disaster for wildlife. There are wonderful rare bird, invertebrate and amphibian species here which I believe will leave once construction starts and will be gone forever. Also living in an area with so much residential development it would be another place taken away for people to walk and enjoy the peace, quite and nature.
