Heathrow Airport expansion protestors have said they will fight eviction attempts and are willing to use tunnels and locks to thwart bailiffs, according to reports.
A community market garden has been created by the Grow Heathrow protesters on land in Sipson, where the third runway would be built.
An eviction order was upheld in the court of appeal, but protestors are attempting to discuss the issue with landowner Imran Malik.
Malik was handed a letter by John McDonnell, the Labour MP for Hayes and Harlington, asking him to discuss the issue with the residents, who want to buy the land.
The bailiffs and Malik turned up for the eviction, but were greeted with around 100 protestors, singing and chanting.
Campaigners said they were learning peaceful resistance techniques, such as locking to thigns and building a network of tunnels.
