The Metropolitan Police issued a statement that a "protester has climbed onto a motorway gantry at Junction 25 on the M25". "The road has been temporarily closed at this location (anticlockwise). Specially trained officers from our protest removal team are on their way manage the scene," the statement added. Surrey Police issued a statement that they had reports that there are also 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". "We are here and dealing and will get this resolved as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience," they said. In a statement issued by Just Stop Oil, the group said that from 7.30 am in at least six locations activists had climbed onto the overhead gantries of the M25 both clockwise and anticlockwise. "Yesterday evening, Just Stop Oil contacted the Metropolitan Police and National Highways Ltd to advise them that there would major disruption on the M25, and ask them to implement a 30mph speed limit, in line with their responsibilities to keep the public safe," they said. Indigo Rumblelow, 28, a spokesperson for Just Stop Oil, said: 'What did you expect? This government is complicit in an illegal and unconstitutional plan to issue more licenses and consents for new oil and gas. "A plan that will take the world over 1.5C, resulting in the collapse of ordered society, the loss of our rights and freedoms and the death of millions of people." It is the latest in a series of protests by the group, an offshoot of Extinction Rebellion, including spray-painting the outside windows of Harrods in London and throwing tomato soup over Van Gogh's painting of sunflowers.){kind=link}
