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!

    • A local food growing initiative is a very positive means of helping the local community, as well as the environment through reducing food miles. The project should be supported, not removed.

    • Grow Heathrow is distinct in this era of social alienation as a project that builds community, rather than stripping it down. Supermarket culture and tv dinners in front of x-factor has sidelined vital human interactions, without which a shared moral of respect cannot be established, giving rise to the majority of social ailments witnessed today. If we are to remedy this then it is of the utmost importance that projects like Grow Heathrow, which counter this with action, must be encouraged and supported.

    • I strongly support this local effort to transform this piece of land that was previously left derelict and use it to both build the community and provide food locally.

    • I am signing this petition in order to stop a massive injustice-it actually would be a shameful if the British Judicial system ruled in any other way than to enable a way for grow heathrow to continue in the hands of the community!

    • it would be a crying shame to take away the one thing that has bought, over the last 6 months, the small village of Sipson so closely together and as a direct result created a real sense of community!
