Transition Heathrow faces eviction from Grow Heathrow, its squatted garden in the heart of Sipson.

After occupying the site on 1st March 2010, the plot has provided local residents with a space to start building more sustainable and more resilient Heathrow communities after the dropping of the 3rd runway. Residents and activists have worked together to turn the derelict piece of land back into a thriving market garden. 30 tonnes of rubbish have been removed and two of the greenhouses have been completely re glazed. There have also been many workshops and events such as permaculture courses, growing workshops and a well attended banquet.

Grow Heathrow is at the heart of the Transition Heathrow project, and the looming threat of eviction leaves it with an uncertain future. The land has become a community hub and a model of sustainable living and self-sufficiency. Please ensure the future of this exciting space by signing the petition to save Grow Heathrow!

    • The work that Transition Heathrow does at Grow Hethrow is both admirable and inspiring. It would be a travesty if they were prevented from continuing their selfless project.

    • The ever-expanding local network of Grow Heathrow supporters has created a thriving and dynamic community space where once was a derelict scrap yard. It would be a grievous loss to the surrounding area to see the land returned to its former owner.

    • Making use of otherwise underutilised land is a vital part of preparing people for the coming crisis in our food system. This project should be supported as part of that effort.
