Protestors have blocked three oil terminals in a protest which could impact fuel availability in Nottinghamshire and the rest of the East Midlands. The protestors, from a group called Just Stop Oil, have occupied the terminals in three locations across the country in an attempt to try and push the Government to take action and reduce its oil and gas use.
Last week, there were shortages at Nottinghamshire petrol stations such as the Sainsbury's and Asda in West Bridgford and Morrison's in Gamston after similar protests by the group. They say they expect a similar fuel shortage as a result of their most recent action.
Just Stop Oil said in a statement: "Supporters of Just Stop Oil have disrupted oil supplies from oil terminals in Warwickshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, marking the tenth day of action in support of their demand that the UK government end new oil and gas projects in the UK. "Overnight, supporters of Just Stop Oil dug a tunnel under a key tanker route to the BP Kingsbury Terminal in Warwickshire.
