My maternal grandmother was buried here in 1939, when my own mother was just 14 months old.  It has taken my mum 70 years to locate her mum’s resting place.  The thought of anyone’s final resting place being tarmacked over in the name of progress beggars belief.  Let these people rest in peace.

My mother and 52 years ago within 3 weeks of one another, it is a special place for me and my sisters as I was only 5 at the time,  The government should have the decency to say no and respect the resting place of peoples relatives.  Perhaps they would do something if someone suggested running a motor way through the royal burial grounds, they are no different to us in there time of grieing

my dear father is buried at cherrytreelane,his wish was to be buried,not cremated.
what are these people proposing to do with the human remains of our loved ones?
am i right in thinking this is council land?
if the council allow this to happen then it can only mean that they believe in money before people.but we knew that anyway.
where do i take my fathers grandchildren to remember their grandfather?
on the road to terminal 5?
NEVER!how dare they be allowed to disrespect our dead?
if it was their families burial grounds would they allow it? 
i think not….

David William Knowles a War Hero of just 28 years old, is buried in Cherry Lane Cemetry. As if giving up your life for this country isn’t enough. You are not even allowed to rest in peace. Shame on all that deem it economic to disturb the dead, whatever the gain, it is criminal. It’s about time we got our values right.

Hello,

My name is Natasha La Mohte.  I started this campaign at the end of April 2008, and am Chair to the voluntary group, CLAD (Cherry Lane Against Development).  I have not been on this blog for some time and am heartened to see that so many people have asked what they can do to help.

Please go to our website http://www.cherrylane.org.uk where you can learn more about what you can do, what events are being held etc.  Also you can sign up for a regular email about the campaign. 

At this stage, I would like to thank John McDonnell on behalf of our committee for standing side by side with us at every event we have held in the 18.5 months we have been going and for his contribution to the successful campaign that has been run.

Dean Winter said:

This is a travesty.
I have several family members at rest their and, living overseas, will always visit when I leave Heathrow.
Far more importantly though, the disruption and sorrow that this will cause is beyond comprehension and all for the benefit of motorists!! I urge the authorities to have sense and for decency and goodness to prevail.

My parents are both buried in Cherry Lane Cemetery.  I live in the USA Houston Texas.  I started to hear about the 3rd runway about 5 months ago through some friends.  I am very concerned about what will happen to my parents grave and what will become of their remains.

John Derby said:

Well, the decision for the Heathrow expansion plans to go ahead, like most things the government allow, stem from greed. Lets all face it, I bet that more than 50% of flights to/from Heathrow are by passengers just passing through the airport a `hub’.
Perhaps No.10 Downing Street, or Geoff Hoons house could be knocked down to make way for another Tesco? Please, I would love to sign the go ahead for that one!!

Cherry Tree Lane Cemetary is a little bit of peace and greenery in the midst of what is an enormous mass of polution, concrete, cars, roads and lanes of traffic. To think that my dear father Ernie, can’t ‘rest in peace’ due to the selfish bosses of an enormous company. Why can’t they accept Heathrow is big enough and stop trying to keep up with everyone else! My Mum comes from Hayes and has watched it turn from a village to this great ugly mess it is now. My father was a traditional good English gentleman, the sort that we are now loosing. He loved cricket, football, church music (he had sung in a London church choir as a boy, before being evacuated during the war) etc etc. What can I do to help? Please keep me informed. Best regards, Lynne

In 2003 my father died after a 4 month spell in hospital. My uncle and I had to make the decision to turn the ventilator off and stop the medication and let my father die as he was no longer responding to treatment.  4 months of hoping he will pull through to singing to him whilst he died slowly but painlessly was hard enough but now I am faced with mourning his death all over again because of a new runway at heathrow!!  I am horrified and appalled that this can even be considered.  There are many many people laid to rest there, the loved ones of many of us that take comfort in going to visit them at what was supposed to be their final resting place!  This cant be allowed to happen!!!  PLEASE STOP THIS!!!  I am heart broken!

Alan Butler said:

See, you cant even die in this country & the government still interfere with you, perhaps if the bodies were dug up & buried in Geoff Hoons back garden then that might be change his mind….

So a road is more important than your deceased Family Members, Friends?? Is this the Democracy that goverment so proudly wish to enforce, sorry “offer” upon the rest of the world?

Rest In Peace? Yea, whatever…........

John Derby said:

Just another comment as i am so angry with the runway decision (I hope those from BAA are reading this). Its pretty sick that all of you BAA idiots sit around your meeting tables, drinking coffee, making decisions based on money and profitability.
Perhaps if you made decisions based on ethics rather than money, you might gain a little respect.
Lets all hope that one day, for your sake, your own loved ones arent tarmaced over, cos then you would know how sick we all feel.

John Derby said:

My father passed away in 2000, and has peacefully been laid to rest at Cherry Lane Cemetary. I am so upset with the decision for another runway and access roads that I will have to exaplain the implications to my mother…I just cringe at the thought of having to break this news to her. The people who are we are sopposed to respect at the top of Government should be ashamed. For them is all about money, money money. Xmas has become all about money for them, and it seems that desicrating loved ones graves is no different for them. The government should really wake up to what is morally right and wrong.

Both my parents and my Mother’s parents are buried at Cherry Lane Cemetery. I have a “Grant of Exclusive Right of Burial” form and other people should have a similar form for their loved ones. I am horrified at this Government’s conduct and would like to know how it can be stopped. So much for democracy!  It’s a complete farce.

Yet another socialist fiasco, my family also have a grave there, my father,grandparents and other members of my family are there, but no doubt, if they get away with it,  they will try and dig it up under the proviso that it will help the planet, what is wrong with them, thank you to everyone who is fighting against this idiotic scheme, force in numbers will win through.

My father was killed at Heathrow in January 1971 working for B.E.A and Rests in Peace at Cherry lane Cemetary.
I am appauled at these proposals as it seems nothing is sacred anymore.
I do not live in the area anymore but will help to fight this proposal and the runway proposal.
My mother is outraged at this and still lives in Harlington.
The message should be sent to those who now keep your hands off our lovedone’s graves.
What can we all do to help???

I fel sick. My father, Trevor Whysall, is buried at Cherry Lane. I live away from the area, and have visited his grave this Xmas and found the flyers and Banner. My sons, aged 11 and 7, cannot believe that their grandfather will be tarmaced over. How can this be done in a democracy? Except we arent one at all are we anymore? The powers that be will just walk(drive,fly) all over us little people. May they all rot in hell.

Mohammed Mughal said:

I have relatives buried in the cemetery and I live local to the cemetery. When I found out about these horrific proposals I was utterly disgusted. I have not as yet had the misfortune to have to organise a closer family members funeral, but as far as I understand when a person passes away the family have to BUY the land for the proposed plot were the body is to be buried. So that plot of land is for thier loved one.  Where do councils or anybody else have the right to make the decision as to who builds a road over our loved ones for ANY reason what so ever especially if it is for someone like BAA who have enough bearing on our enviroment already without having to go as far as disturbing our buried in thier graves.  I have very strong belief in the fact that if a person has PAYED for a plot of land for the body to be buried THAT LAND IS THIERS!!!, let alone the loved one buried within it. Would BAA feel the same if people decided to dig up a spot on thier runway or in thier departure lounge to build a shed. I think they may object on the grounds that it is thier property, as the cemetery belongs to the people. I may stand to be corrected in terms of ownership but anyone would have a very hard time on correcting me as far as moral grounds go.

Casey Jackson said:

I am a 18 year old girl with friends who have been deeply affected by this proposal. I dont concider myself directly affect as none of my relatives are buried here- But i’ve seen for myself how disgusting and horrific the whole process this will be for loved ones families. I would love to help in anyway I can. This cannot be legal, surely? Even suggesting such a thing show total disrespect and disregard for our loved ones and there families. I’m shocked.
Keep fighting; And we’ll go all the way to the bulldozers if we have to.
Please; tell me how i can help.

Belinda Guildford Payn said:

I can not explain how hurt and distressed i am at finding out about this road through the cemetary. All my family are buried there and i can not believe that they can not be left in peace. How dare they even consider puting a road through a cemetary. What would they think if it was their family that were buried there. Its outrageous and i am absolutely disgusted. I think i will have to write to the london mayor to see what his thoughts are on this plan. I feel sick with worry as to what would happen if they get their way.

Why should we the residents keep losing to the beaurocrats who dont live in or near our area,homes,schools,businesses,churches,now they want our cemetery,its like “Big Brother “( not the tv programme)telling where the living should go and to disturb our relatives and friends who have died,we do not want a 3rd Runway,we dont want the noise, pollution,and we dont want to lose CHRERY LANE CEMETERY.

Lynn Beecroft said:

I am digusted at this proposal. Many of my family including my grandfather, grandmother,my uncles, aunts and my cousin Also there are many people buried here who died during the war who were trying to help our country in the war effort. When the a bomb landed on the EMI and hundreds of people were killed. They should be left in peace and we should have a chance to have somewhere to go to spend some time with them. Spending time at the grave makes me feel closer to my Nan and Grandad. I am disgusted by this proposal and I object whole heartedly.

gillian cooke said:

If the plans go ahead for the 3rd runway and the cemetary is disturbed i will sit on my families grave and not move, they should be ashamed of themselves, god forgive them.

Chris Tyrrell said:

Having just discovered this this horrendous and heartless proposal, I had to add my voice to this digusting proposal. Many of my much loved family are buried at this cemetary including my grandfather, grandmother,my uncles, aunts and my cousin also many much loved friends. They must be left in peace. I am horrified by this proposal and my objections could not be stronger.

My wifes daughter is buried at cherry lane,we were horrofied to here that this proposal could go ahead.May I ask a question as to why the empty fields next to the cemetary cant be used for the proposed road.

Marie Callow said:

I was born, bred and lived in Hayes for 41 years but moved to Cumbria 7 years ago.  I was very distressed to hear today about the horrific proposals for Cherry Lane Cemetery.  My Mother attended the meeting at Barnhill. My Dad, Nan and Gradad are all buried there.  My best friend also has a baby girl buried there.  It is just unthinkable that the cemetery would be disturbed in anyway.  What sick, deranged and heartless people at BAA sat round a Board table and decided that putting a road through a cemetery was a good idea.  I bet whoever is responsible for this preposterous proposal does not have relatives or friends buried in Cherry Lane.  We must all do whatever we can to stop this from happening.  I will be keeping up to date with developments via family and friends still in Hayes and will do everything I can to support this campaign.

My mother was buried in the cemetary just 4 years ago. I no longer live in the area and so find it difficult to visit frequently. It would have been her birthday today and so one of my sisters and I went to pay our respects and found the flyers at the entrance. I am horrified! How can they do this and why were not all the grave owners informed of this proposal?  It’s hard enough to imagine exhuming adults but unbearable for the relatives of children. This can not be allowed to happen.What can I do to help?
