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 potential eviction of Grow Heathrow provides evidence of unjust actions, aimed against a moral campaign to keep land and community together. I have witnessed first hand the work being done down in Sipsom by some fine human beings- these actions against them are actions against beautiful morals and amazing intents on their part.

    • This was once one of our best fruit growing areas -- locals growing fruit again is very positive and exciting. Please help rather than stopping this.

    • Projects such as Grow Heathrow are not just inspirational, they are essential. Anyone paying attention knows the precarious nature of our food systems and the urgent need to relocalise food production. Grow Heathrow should be supported and held up as an example of best practice, not evicted for doing such important work.

    • I work at Heathrow and believe Transition is crucial. Full support all initiatives to combat the threats of oil and climate change. The best we can do is to work as local communities
