A GROUP of activists who 'swooped' on a derelict market garden in opposition to Heathrow's third runway are being threatened with eviction.

Transition Heathrow, a group of youngsters in their 20s, living in Harlington High Street, set up a project called 'Grow Heathrow' in March.

They claimed the patch of land in Vineries Close, Sipson, which had laid unused, and have since cleared it up, and turned it into a 'community hub' for the village.

REVIVING an area that has suffered from decades of under-investment is clearly not going to be possible overnight.

An attractive area to live in includes good shops and safe streets, but it also has to look good.

Even the most staunch defender of Yiewsley and West Drayton would concede that the run down areas are not the most visually attractive.

Keen to change this is Harvey Vasey, a civil servant, 37, who lives in Church Road, West Drayton.

A TEENAGER is asking for donations to help fund his trip to Uganda for a World Challenge expedition.

PIN the tail on the politician will not sadly be one of the activities on hand at the 'No Third Runway' celebration event this weekend.

Despite that omission, there are dozens of fun games to join in, as the villages of Sipson and Harmondsworth breathe a collective sigh of relief and yelp of joy at eight years of blight being cancelled.

Earlier this year the coalition Government scrapped Labour's vision for a third runway, and villagers promised to put on a party this summer to celebrate.
