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!
