Natural England declared Swanscombe to be a Site of Special Scientific Interest- we must protect our most important wildlife sites from being lost. It is site to many endangered species, including the critically endangered distinguished jumping spider, and is a diverse and wonderful landscape. Wildlife is in decline across the country, it's important to protect it where we can. Myself, and many other people gain tremendous pleasure from walking in this area, it's a little oasis in an, otherwise, polluted and crowded area. This area is amongst the worst in the country for air pollution, if not the worst, I don't believe it's a good idea to bring, potentially, thousands of extra vehicles into the area every day. I am not against the London Resort, I just believe that this is completely the wrong area to build it on, I believe we will lose significantly more than we can ever hope to gain if this goes ahead.
