Just Stop Oil supporters have been climbing overhead gantries on the M25, forcing the police to close vast sections of the motorway for safety while officers remove activists.
Just Stop Oil has said it is halting its protests on the M25 after causing days of widespread disruption on the major motorway circling London.
Its supporters have been climbing overhead gantries in several locations, forcing the police to close sections of the road for safety while officers remove activists.
"From today, Just Stop Oil will halt its campaign of civil resistance on the M25. We are giving time to those in government who are in touch with reality to consider their responsibilities to this country at this time," the group said today.
Motorists have been urged to avoid the area and seek alternative routes while several police forces deal with the demonstrations.
"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.
"You don't get to recycle words and promises - you owe it to the British people to act.
"Today is Remembrance Day, we call on you to honour all those who served and loved their country. Take the necessary first step to ensure a liveable future and halt new oil and gas."
The group did not say whether campaigners would resume action on the M25 if their demands are not met.
