They have reportedly been digging under a main road

Police have blocked off a main road in Kingsbury as oil protestors have reportedly struck again today (August 22). It has been reported that traffic cannot get through to Kingsbury past Piccadilly this afternoon.

Reports on social media suggest police officers have been turning traffic away on Trinity Road by Kingsbury Link for almost an hour. Oil protesters have reportedly been digging under the road, making it unsafe.

The area is covered by a high court injunction. It was granted back on April 14 to prevent further protests at the Kingsbury Oil Terminal following two weeks of chaos caused by the Just Stop Oil group.
