A Just Stop Oil supporter from Swansea who climbed over an M25 gantry has appeared before a Brighton court and remanded in custody.
Tez Burns, 34, a bicycle mechanic from Beaufort Court, Swansea, was arrested on Thursday on what was the fourth day of action by the protesters. Activists climbed a gantry at Junction 8 of the UK’s busiest motorway on Thursday morning. Officers from Surrey Police were called to the scene and the road was closed in both directions while they climbed the gantry.
Meanwhile Essex Police said they arrested a woman attempting to climb a gantry around 1.5 miles from Junction 28 clockwise.
