Newark and Sherwood Extinction Rebellion will be holding protests at BP petrol stations in Nottinghamshire next week. Joined by other Extinction Rebellion groups, protests will be held at BP and Shell petrol stations in the Newark and Sherwood area to encourage motorists to boycott the companies.
The Extinction Rebellion campaign group say they will be peacefully protesting in a range of ways, including a mock funeral procession.
Newark resident, Carl Braithwaite, said: "There’s no “good” oil company, but we’d like to discourage people from filling up at Shell or BP. Both Shell and BP have plans for massive expansion, despite clear warnings from scientists."
