The Stop Stansted Expansion "From The Heart" 2004 St Valentine's Day initiative proved such a success that we are continuing with it. We are calling for people to send letters, poems, photographs, paintings and drawings about what they are fighting to save from the threat of expansion for publication on this website.

Anyone who would like to send in a written contribution should email SSE or write to the campaign office at PO Box 311, Takeley, Bishop's Stortford CM22 6PY.  Please include your name and contact details, although only partial information (name plus town or village) will be reproduced on the website to protect the identity of those who write, particularly children.  Contributions from children will be particularly welcome and their ages should be included.
