NO THIRD RUNWAY
REPORTS ARCHiVE
So, the Mayor of London opposes the third runway, as are most local MPs, but will that help? No, but a big loud demo might!
Called by MAKE A NOISE, which in turn consists of Campaign Against Climate Change, Greenpeace, HACAN Clearskies, NOTRAG (No Third Runway Action Group) and 2Million Voices against Heathrow Expansion. And it's looking to be a big one!
Timetable for the day :
12pm assemble at Hatton Cross Tube station
12.50: two speakers (Archbishop Address and Deputy Mayor of London to lead off)
1pm: Carnival moves off. It will process around the airport to Sipson village, a distance of around two and a half miles.
2.30: Big NO begins: spelling out the biggest ever "NO" with human bodies.
3.30: Big NO address
4pm: speakers on main stage
5pm: Sipson Street party : there will be food, stalls, drink and plenty to do for kids from face-painting to bouncy castles
7pm: close
