Climate activists blocked three major routes around London this morning including Hanger Lane in north Ealing, causing major traffic disruption.

54 people from Insulate Britain blocked three major routes at the Blackwall Tunnel (North and South side), Hanger Lane and Wandsworth Bridge this morning, Monday 4 October.

This is the eleventh time Insulate Britain has caused disruption on motorways and A roads over the past three weeks, as their campaign to demand government action on home insulation enters its fourth week.

Motorists were seen getting out of their cars to express their frustrations and dragging the climate activists blocking the road in some cases.

Metropolitan Police tweeted: "Officers are dealing with protestors who have blocked parts of the A2, A3, A12 and A40.

"While the roads remain open, there is heavy disruption at all four locations with slow moving traffic while work is underway to remove those who have glued themselves onto the road.

"So far, 38 arrests have been made for disruption of the highway and conspiracy to cause public nuisance.

"We consider protests of this nature unreasonable and are acting as quickly as possible to minimise disruption caused to members of the public using the roads."
