Last Saturday gave us a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the decision to cancel the building of Heathrow's Runway 3 in the centre of Sipson. The communities of Sipson and Harmondsworth would have been destroyed had the runway been built - and the rest of us would have suffered yet more noise, pollution and transport congestion. Hillingdon Council hosted a community festival at Sipson Rec, so many local residents were there. But it was also great to catch up with people from all the key partner organisations involved in the campaign - John Stewart (pictured) the Chair of HACAN www.hacan.org.uk, Geraldine Nicholson of the No Third Runway Campaign www.notrag.org, Councillors and officers from the local authorities around Heathrow, Friends of the Earth, Aviation Environment Federation etc etc.
