Parts of M25 closed in rush hour after protesters climb gantries

Meanwhile, Surrey Police said there are further similar protests at other parts of the major road encircling most of Greater London.

A statement on Twitter said: ‘We now have reports that we have protesters on the motorway gantries at junction 6, one between junctions 8-9, one between junctions 13-12 southbound and one between junctions 13-14.Earlier this morning, the force confirmed National Highways has shut the road from junctions 6-7 northbound for ‘the safety of everyone involved’.supports HTML5 video

Police watch as traffic is held back as an activist from Just Stop Oil occupies a gantry over the M25 near Godstone in Surrey Essex Police are also responding to reports of people climbing up a gantry close to junction 30, adding that ‘arrests have been made already’. The demonstrations come as the latest Cop27 international climate change talks in Egypt get under way.They are demanding that the government stops all new oil and gas consents and licences, adding that ‘anything less is a death sentence’.

One of the climate campaigners is 24-year-old Louise, who filmed herself from the top of an overhead gantry.November 7, 2022She said: ‘I am here because I do not have a future. You might hate me for doing this, but I wish you would direct all that anger and hatred at our government.It comes after police made a series of pre-emptive arrests ahead of the planned action.

Nothing some more fireworks wouldn't solve Disruptive parasites

Not sure why traffic has to be stopped. Just leave them up there they will soon come down when they need a sh*t & stop giving them publicity.

Last month 9 out of 10 people had to give up their jobs, because they could no afford travel costs unpaid by employers in England.

OIL PROTESTORS - PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS ....WE ALL WANT SURROUND YOUR HOMES AND NOT LET YOU OUT .... DONT BLAME US BLAME THE GOVERNMENT IF THIS HAPPENS

Just leave them there and get on with the day This publicity is what they want

do any of these protestors work ? just stop their benefits if they get them

What’s the point of the injunction then ?

He's clipped on. Why close it? Oh yes, stupid me.

Why would you close the road, just crack on, he has a harness on. He will come down when he gets bored

Breaching an injunction? That's Contempt of Court. Straight to Bellmarsh with him!

Stop calling them protesters, they are terrorists

Open the road , let him stay there for as long as he wants

Meanwhile, Just Stop Oil expect this to happen in a day. Unlimited fine and seizure of property in addition to prison seems a bit overboard, don't you think? how many of these people filled up their gas tanks before driving to this protest
