Cherry Lane Cemetery is under threat now that the Govt. has given the go ahead to 3rd runway at Heathrow
The Cemetery, on Shepiston Lane, Harlington Middx. is an active, municipal burial ground , which has served Hillingdon since 1936. It is a multi faith cemetery which is used daily and is the home to many war graves and the EMI memorial, commemorating the lives of those workers who perished when a Doodlebug bomb landed on the canteen in 1944. It is the only cemetery with spaces within the Hillingdon Borough. If the plans go ahead a number of graves inevitably will be destroyed and the ones which will remain are going to be effected by the vibrations, pollution and noise from the proposed dual carriage way. This will cause irreversible damage to wildlife, erosion of gravestones and a loss of a peaceful area to mourn. I currently have 11 relatives buried in the cemetery and I wish to ensure that they are left in peace and I am able to use the cemetery to mourn, reflect and continue with the grieving process.

Please sign our petition, it only takes a couple of minutes and would mean so much to the War Heroes that gave their lives so bravely and families that have loved one's buried there. Thanks and feel free to pass it on.

I'm void as well.

Its sickening thinking such things are happening, have you thought of any "physical" (aka not virtual) approaches? For instance, going in person to hand in the petitions, etc

 

Hi all

Just to let you all know that on Wednesday 11th March we are presenting 20,000 signature petition to House of Commons.

We have already submitted 8,000 in July, and we have 6,000+ on the electronic (PMs Govt.) site.

We are also preparing for a march in London in May.

Many thanks to all that have already signed, please pass our link on to others.

Owen -

More like an ex - Patsy - it has something to do with residency unlike the Halifax Building society with their 'Free" shares for going public - not a word about residency until time to pay out - then it became too "onerous" to send mine to me as I live in Canada - cost me $3000o (1200GBP at that time) been leery ever since....

Cheers

 

At least you can have the last laugh now Tom

 

Is there anything we foreign citizens can do?

Veterans, both with us and already gone, deserve respect!

 

Yesterday we submitted 22,000 signature petition to House of Commons.
Total to date is 36,000 signatures.
Does anyone know of other sites that I might be able to find support
Thanks. Linda

 

Warlord -
respect for Veterans? - look what happened at Luton the other day - your new bosses decided that the Anglians on their march past were Butchers of Basra - so what happened - two British men were charged- the protesting Muslims were safeguarded away by the British Police - acting of whose orders - the B**** idiot who allowed the protest to go on - and I just wonder which part of Pakistan he comes from ......ooops - they will have the RCMP knock on my door at 3 a.m. better get some sleep in .....
Cheers

 

Tom, Glad your prepared to say what others think !!!

 

Warlord in reply to how others can help, we are suggesting you write to our Prime Minister with your comments. I believe you can e-mail him, also if you know of anyone that could sign please send our details to them
Many thanks to you all

 

Also Signed.
