My family live in [] close to the Swanscombe pennisula. It is a special place for us to appreciate its unique beauty and the nature within it. In an area quarried and environmentally damaged from a past era, this oasis provides escape, fresh air and an appreciation of the many endangered species important to our heritage and an understanding of its beauty. It is a unique and special place and hope it remains so as one of the last marsh lands in existence here. Many endangered species of rare invertebrates,flora and fauna reside. The peninsula provides the last remaining health benefits to the environment and to humans living close by. The building of a theme park right here, in this particular spot, will destroy this special environment, destroy air quality, destroy the feeling of community and provide unnecessary congestion to our already chaotic road system. It would excelerate and promote the consumption culture of our society when it needs to be reined in and addressed and encourage a more caring society with greener initiatives and a greener economy . We owe it to future generations to wake up, listen and look after our planet which is deteriorating at a rapid rate.
