Heathrow Decision Day Flashmob

12 noon (on the dot), Heathrow Ter­mi­nal 5 Depar­tures (‘Secu­ri­ty North’ sec­tion)
on the first Sat­ur­day after the Gov­ern­ment makes its deci­sion on Heathrow expan­sion
(unless all forms of expan­sion are ruled out – see below).

Reveal your t‑shirt and then pelt Trans­port Sec­re­tary Geoff Hoon with red sponges.

THE STORY SO FAR …

Before the end of 2008, the Gov­ern­ment will announce whether or not to give the green light to expand Heathrow, by allow­ing a third run­way and / or a big increase in planes on the exist­ing run­ways. The deci­sion is expect­ed in Decem­ber.

Either option will cause mis­ery for tens of thou­sands of local res­i­dents, and help make dev­as­tat­ing cli­mate change inevitable.

The Gov­ern­ment is under real pres­sure on the third run­way and may decide to drop it. Their way out may be to allow flight num­bers on the exist­ing run­ways to rise by near­ly 50%, to 650,000 a year!

Unless ALL the pro­pos­als are dropped the Deci­sion Day Flash Mob will go ahead. Togeth­er we can win!
