I am concerned by this development. Swanscombe Peninsula supports an outstanding range of wildlife and we must protect it. Natural England have recommended Swanscombe be declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its incredible diversity of flora and fauna and therefore this site is simply not the right place for a theme park. Moreover, sites like Swanscombe Peninsula are vital in helping to mitigate the impacts of human driven climate change and we must value our precious wildlife more than we do a theme park. The CV-19 pandemic has shown us how crucial green spaces such as Swanscombe Peninsula are for our mental health and wellbeing, and for many it has been a lifeline, including myself. Seeing this site lost to a theme park would be devastating for our generation and future generations.
