CLIMATE activists blocked several junctions of the M25 today for the third time this week — only hours after being released by police.
As Transport Secretary Grant Shapps demanded that officers take “swift action” to remove the protesters, Insulate Britain insisted that its members would continue to take direct action until the government commits to insulating 29 million “leaky” homes by 2030.
Surrey Police said that officers had arrested 14 people at Junction nine at Leatherhead, while the Essex force said that a further 24 had been detained at Junction 28 of the M25 and at Junction 11 of the M11.
