Campaign for Sustainable Harlington -opposing a stadium and commercial development at Junction 12, preserving the Greenbelt and the character of the village
What you can do to help prevent this threat to our village:
The good news is that you can register your opposition NOW from the comfort of your chair and it need not take much of your valuable time. The items highlighted in red below can each be completed in a couple of minutes and are of vital importance in making the strength of local opposition to the application known. However, it would be of great help to the campaign if you could consider becoming actively involved with CaSH in one of the ways mentioned below. Also, the value of individual letters of protest cannot be overstated and we have included some suggested contacts below.
