On 26 February, bailiffs seized buildings in the front half of Grow Heathrow, the squatted community garden in the village of Sipson.
The project was set up in 2010 to support the residents of Sipson in resisting the expansion of Heathrow airport to build a third runway.
At the time of going to press (19 March), Grow Heathrow members had moved to the back of the plot and were intending to stay ‘indefinitely’. They had relocated ‘plants, books, tools, bikes, solar panels and even the wind turbine’ to the backlands, and had built a new kitchen (and a new pizza oven).
