Climate protesters have once again blocked parts of the M25, with today’s action the fifth time a section of the motorway has been blocked by protesters in just over a week.
A spokesperson for Surrey Police said:
“We are currently in attendance between junctions 9 and 10 of the M25 dealing with a protest which was reported just after 8am today (21 September).
“A number of protesters from Insulate Britain are on the carriageways in both the clockwise and anti-clockwise directions. We have already cleared the anti-clockwise carriageway and are dealing with the other side currently. We would advise motorists to avoid the area if possible.
“We will keep you updated.”
A later update issued by Surrey Police said:
“Two lanes on both clockwise and anticlockwise carriageways of the M25 between junctions 9 and 10 are now fully re-opened after officers cleared all of the Insulate Britain protesters off of the road. 23 arrests have been made.”
