Save Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is a stunning grade II listed 17th Century dwelling, beautifully maintained by the current tenants, a family of three. It, along with three other properties are situated on the historic "Hasty Lane" on the edge of Manchester Airport.
watch out for the Lib Dem influence here. But you still might think it's worth signing their on-line petition:

Nearby is a 300 year old natural pond hosting a colony of great crested newts.
It is surrounded by dozens of mature trees and beautifully preserved and balanced ecology. It is an environmental and historical oasis in the midst of heavy modern industry.
The Airport plan to demolish the buildings, fell the trees and concrete over the pond to build two giant air freight cargo units.
English Heritage, the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, Greater Manchester Archaeological Unit, the Council for British Archaeology, local councillors and residents all oppose the plans.
