It is possible that Cherry Lane Cemetary in Shepiston Lane, Harlington will be part of the Heathrow expansion.

My whole family are either buried in Cherry Lane or have their ashes in one of them, my Mum only in 2007.

If anyone would be kind enough to add to this No 10 petition I would be very grateful for your time, 12th May deadline.

Here is the link:
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/CherryLane/

Hope it works, but all done by people who work full time and have families as well.

Bless you if you have time to add.

Kind regards
Amanda

Hi Amanda
Have signed for you and all others with family there.

I used to live nearby and can't believe the need for this to happen.

My australian penfriend has a cousin buried there and she would be so upset to read of this. She possibly has other family there too.

I passed through Hillingdon last week to visit my parents staying with my sister and wondered what the signs were about, now I know.

I have friends living in Harmondsworth, their baby daughter of 17 months is in the churchyard there and is also endangered I believe.

I hope you get lots of signatures.

How awful that would be Amanda, I have just signed the petition.

I can only imagine how upset I would be if it was happening to my daughter's grave and family graves. I was talking to a person at our local Council yesterday about what I have to do to arrange to have my ashes put on or in her grave and checking the amount of years I have the burial rights for, another 40 years, as I got 75 years when I paid up, after 1982 it went down to 50 years for people buying the plots, now it is being considered that they put it down to 25 years, but my original agreement still stands luckily.

Hi Amanda

I have signed the petition.

I have no connections to this cemetery but I do not agree with any cemetery being demolished to make way for an airport or any expansion.

I hope the petition is successful in stopping these plans.

Hi Liz,

Thank you very much for signing.

I am going to have to investigate about my Grandparents grave as my Nan died in 1957, before I was born, I may be too late to do anything if it was for 50 years but I know my Dad owned the rights, or did he?
My Dad and Grandad had the same name!!!

Kind regards

I've only just seen this thread, so I'm giving it a nudge.

I'm another who feels strongly against destroying villages, churches and churchyards, not to mention people's graves, to make way for airports, motorways etc.
I'm not against progress per se, but where progress and expansion will certainly cause great personal distress, as it would to those with connections to, and who live in Sipson village and area, then a line must be drawn.

In fact I felt so strongly about this issue that some time ago I became an airplotter......you could do the same.....airplot.org.uk
