High court injunction to stop protesters blocking access to South Gloucestershire fuel depot

A high court injunction is in place to prohibit the restriction of access to a fuel storage depot in South Gloucestershire. A notice on a fence near Blaise High School on Hallen Road says anyone who 'enters or remains upon' entrances to Hallen Petroleum Storage Depot without permission is breaking the law.

The injunction means anyone who blocks access to routes in and out of the depot could face prison, a fine, or have their assets seized. According to the notice it's logistics company Exolum, believed to store fuel at the site, which applied fo the injunction.

It comes as activists from Just Stop Oil have been blocking fuel distribution terminals across the country. Protesters have taken action at 11 different fuel terminals in England since the start of the month, blockading and trespassing on sites to stop tankers entering, filling up or leaving to deliver fuel.
