The squatted community garden in Sipson, Heathrow has been served a court summons for eviction.

On the 1st of March this year we reclaimed a neglected plot of land called the Berkeley Nurseries in Sipson- on the planned site of the 3rd runway.

For the last six months we’ve worked with residents to rejuvanate the former-market garden; shifting 30 tonnes of rubbish, growing seasonal food, hosting permaculture workshops and a banquet attended by 80 people as well as supporting the successful No Third Runway campaign.

Grow Heathrow is part of a budding land movement in the UK connecting struggles to take back control of our food production.
In building resilient communities to environmental and economic crises we want to defend real alternatives to the systems of false democracy and corporate greed.

We are in negotiations with the landowners for long-term community ownership, and so for the while we ask you to support us in the upcoming struggle by;

1. Signing our petition  http://www.petitiononline.com/heathrow/petition.html

2. Email us at  info@transitionheathrow.com with a supportive testimony for the project


3. Come to court and show your solidarity: 2nd of September in Uxbridge County Court at 11am.

Please email  info@transitionheathrow.com if you have any skills, ideas or experience to contribute in resisting this threat.

Please forward to your networks and post on your blogs.
With love,
Transition Heathrow
