On April 12th the Stop Heathrow Expansion group are welcoming all to Harmondsworth to raise awareness of the great threat to our communities. Whilst this beautiful historic village is the one earmarkedfor demolition, it is merely a focus point to highlight all the villages that would be destroyed or rendered uninhabitableby airport expansion. Tens of thousands that would be adversely affected by noise and pollution might like to standhereand be counted now,prior tothegeneral election,to ensure allpolitical parties know people’s strength of feeling on this issue. Efforts to kickit into the long grass until we have already cast our votes must not be allowed to silence us.

We have a number of photo opportunities on the day including:tree planting for the future on land that would be compulsory purchased, a boundary mural showing where the newairportfence is being forced upon us and the Great Barn, newly restored, will be open to the public for the first time this year.All visitors will bealso beable to investigate the other historicandlisted buildings, and the threatened natural delights of Harmondsworth Moor,with the help of guides and illustrated leaflets. Thetwolocal pubs serve great food and fine beer making this potentially the most civilised opportunity to protest possible.
