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!

    • Our current economic system is unsustainable, if this site gets closed down then we lose another opportunity for people to be more self-sufficient and less of a strain on the planet

    • It's absolutely amazing what has been done with a site that was previously a hideous dump. Local community activism and engagement is at the heart of the new governments big society, and should be something that every political party can get behind. To get rid of this amazing project would be foolhardy and shortsighted in the extreme.

    • 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.
