I consider it is imperative that the unique habitat and incredible range of wildlife on the Swanscombe Peninsula, a designated SSSI, be protected now and into the future. The site is home to critically endangered invertebrate species such as the jumping spider, together with many nationally rare and endangered bees, spiders and wasps making the site of extreme national importance. Added to this are the abundance of rare birds including Marsh Harriers and Black Redstart, and many important reptiles such as bats, and otters. Swanscombe Peninsula’s precious flora and fauna must be protected and not destroyed by any development such as this theme park. I am very concerned that so much wildlife and it’s environment has already been lost throughout the country. It is therefore more important than ever that the such a unique habitat as the Swanscome Peninsula is saved and protected. Swanscombe Peninsula is definitely not the right site for the proposed theme park. Conservation of our precious wildlife must take presdence.
