Just Stop Oil (JSO) has said it is halting what it calls its campaign of civil resistance on the M25.

Over the last four days environmental activists have climbed gantries above the motorway, forcing it to close in several places.

In a statement the group said the move was to give the Government time to consider their responsibilities, adding: “We ask that the Prime Minister consider his statement at Cop27, where he spoke of the catastrophic threat posed by the ravages of global heating, the 33 million people displaced by floods in Pakistan, and the moral and economic imperative to honour our pledges.”

A police officer was injured during Wednesday’s protests.

Essex Police said there was a collision involving the police motorcyclist and two lorries during a rolling roadblock.
