Photo opportunity to support legal case against Heathrow Expansion on climate change grounds


Recommended Posts

Dear Supporter of the "STOP 700 MORE" flights a day group


At the time of joining our mailing list many of you asked "What can we do to help?" Well this could be your chance as a very important event, a peaceful media opportunity, is approaching soon.


Thursday the 17th of October is the first day of the appeal of the Judicial Review at the High Court (Royal Courts of Justice) on The Strand in London. Climate groups, 5 local Councils and the Mayor of London are delighted to have been allowed an appeal, challenging the government's decision for a third runway at Heathrow.


It is our aim to have a substantial body of people gather outside the court at 8.45am for media photographs at 9am. This will only take an hour.


With increasing public awareness of Climate Change and the health ill-effects of noise and pollution, we are hopeful that we can get the government's decision reviewed and reversed. But it will take our ongoing legal and media campaigns and the help of our supporters to achieve this. The more people who come and help, the better the message for the press.


If you (and your friends) can attend, this would be amazing and really helpful. The nearest tube station is Temple.

For our planning for the day, it would be really helpful if you could let us know if you "Plan to Attend", by emailing us at:- [email protected] We have the T-shirts, so please come and put one on and defend your quality of life.


Thank you, Neil

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
