Just Stop Oil protested through the streets of Oxford bringing city centre traffic down to a crawl.

The campaigners gathered at Oxpens Meadow from 10am on Sunday and marched to the Westgate shopping centre, along Queens Street and Cornmarket.

Then they went into Broad Street and to the Radcliffe Camera, which was recently spray-painted orange by a student Just Stop Oil supporter.

Oxford Mail: Just Stop Oil protestors in the streets of Oxford

Anne Taylor, 74, a retired teacher from Oxford, said: “I can’t bear to read about climate disasters in the press. 

"The government is taking decisions that are only going to make these disasters worse. 

"Even more new oil and gas projects have been given the go-ahead, in full knowledge of the consequences.

"It’s all so utterly awful.  I have no other choice but to take action with Just Stop Oil.  I have four young grandchildren.  I’m just terrified for their future.  I have to do all I can for them.” 

Ollie Sworder, 20, a student at Oxford University studying biology said:  “"I spend my days learning first-hand from experts in their fields, about climate breakdown causing the destruction of everything. 

"Every lecture is another lesson in another way we are breaking nature. 

"I’m taking action with Just Stop Oil because at this point, I have no future. 

"This late in the game, nothing less than coming together to demand dramatic change is going to fix our future.”
