I want to register my objection to the proposed London Resort development of the Swanscombe Peninsula. During the trying time of the Covid-19 pandemic, the one bright point for me has been that we've been able to access nature and wildlife as part of our daily exercise. Swanscombe Peninsula has been a particular highlight for me because of the unique variety of habitats in the local area and so the wildlife there. Something that's been recognised through the awarding of SSSI status. I go to see the bird life and have got a real buzz from doing so, seeing birds there I don't see elsewhere, for example this weekend, a Bullfinch, my only sighting this year. It seems totally inappropriate that a site that means so much to local people, as well as being nationally so important because of the rare species that live there, should be developed as theme park.
