GREEN campaigners who run a community garden are eagerly awaiting a decision about whether they will be evicted.

Anti-third runway activists set up Grow Heathrow, in Vineries Close, Sipson, in March 2010, and now live on the site.

Members of the group appeared at Central London County Court last month, to fight for their right to remain there.

The landowner, Imran Malik, served them with an eviction notice in September 2010, and the case had been adjourned twice before the two-day hearing on June 18 and 19.

They argued that their right to respect for the home, under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, would be compromised if they were to be booted off the plot.

Hayes and Harlington MP John McDonnell was a witness supporting Grow Heathrow’s case, and TV presenter Richard Madeley, of Richard and Judy fame, was outside court filming for an ITV documentary, due to be screened in September.

The judge said she needed time to read over all the facts, and a decision is due soon.
