CLIMATE protestors are planning to bring traffic to a crawl in Kendal on Saturday.

Supporters of Just Stop Oil are planning a 'go slow' march in the town this Saturday morning (April 29).

They are demanding that the government stops all new UK oil and gas projects.

Just Stop Oil supporters adopted the new tactic of slowing traffic to a crawling pace by marching slowly along roads across London in December.

The Kendal action follows the group's previous Northern slow marches in cities across the region over the last few months, and the beginning of an indefinite campaign of civil resistance in London.

The actions are being carried out in defiance of the Prime Minister’s recent threat to crack down on the 'go slow' marches.

A spokesperson for Just Stop Oil said: "Asia is baking in extreme heat, threatening the lives of a third of the people on earth, but this government of criminals and bullies does not care.

"They are actively making it worse, licensing new oil and gas while silencing dissent and jailing those who resist.

"More oil and gas means more heatwaves, more crop failure, and more death.

"It is the greatest criminal act in human history.

"The government has lost its legitimacy.

"They are knowingly planning the murder of hundreds of thousands of UK citizens.

"In the face of this obscenity, as an act of service and love, we have chosen to act.

"Civil resistance is our only hope.

"This is life or death, survival or collective suicide.

"It's time to pick a side.

"We won’t stop until our genocidal government ends new oil and gas."
