Swanscombe Marshes has evolved into a unique and rich SSI wildlife site. The species it supports range from 250 invertebrates (including a critically endangered jumping spider), 15 red-listed birds of conservation concern as well as rare plants and mammal populations. During the current biodiversity crisis, it is vital such a habitat is preserved for future generations. To destroy it for a ‘theme park’ that could simply be located elsewhere is unthinkable and unjustifiable.
