Like at Heathrow, the scheme aims to build sol­i­dar­i­ty and cam­paign­ing links and to send out a mes­sage that if the bull­doz­ers come, they will have to deal with peo­ple from across Man­ches­ter stand­ing togeth­er to pro­tect peo­ple’s homes and to pro­tect the cli­mate.

Pub­lic launch — Sun­day 7th Feb­ru­ary 2010

Hasty Lane ‘Adopt a Res­i­dent’ Launch
Sun­day 7th Feb­ru­ary 2010
1pm — 3pm

Hasty Lane, next to Man­ches­ter Air­port, WA15 8UT

What will the day involve?
———————————————
We’ll have a grand tour of Hasty Lane, includ­ing the threat­ened hous­es and near­by wildlife spots. We’ll intro­duce each oth­er and have a live video link up with Sip­son vil­lage near Lon­don Heathrow. There will be tea, cake and music.

What what what?
———————————————
In Novem­ber 2009, Man­ches­ter City Coun­cil approved plans to bull­doze peo­ple’s homes on Hasty Lane to expand the World Freight Cen­tre at Man­ches­ter Air­port.

Not only do these plans threat­en peo­ple’s homes, but the ris­ing emis­sions from air freight also threat­en the sta­bil­i­ty of the cli­mate.

But we can stop them. We’re invit­ing you to Adopt-a-Res­i­dent at Hasty Lane. Togeth­er, we can team up to rein in Man­ches­ter air­port’s cli­mate wreck­ing expan­sion plans. Togeth­er, we’ll also show that if the bull­doz­ers come, they will have to deal with peo­ple from across Man­ches­ter stand­ing togeth­er to pro­tect peo­ple’s homes and to pro­tect our future.

At the same time, we’ll be twin­ning Hasty Lane with Sip­son vil­lage at Heathrow. Like Hasty Lane, Sip­son is also threat­ened by air­port expan­sion plans. A third run­way at Heathrow would bull­doze around 400 homes.

With res­i­dents, sup­port­ers, cam­paign­ers and activists link­ing up across Man­ches­ter and across the coun­try — we can stand togeth­er to pro­tect peo­ple’s homes and to pro­tect our cli­mate.
