Extinction Rebellion activists are digging up the lawn outside Trinity College this morning (Monday, February 17).
Almost 3,000 people have signed a petition against Extinction Rebellion Cambridge's roadblock, as the action enters its second day.
The Lib Dem opposition said they are glad that the Conservatives are ‘at last recognising the climate emergency’ but still had criticisms of the plan
The petition asks the police to step in and stop the climate activist group from disrupting the Cambridge city centre
Cambridgeshire police are using emergency powers to close Fen Causeway and Trumpington Road in light of the protests
“When people protest peacefully they are often criticised, but posterity usually thanks them for what they’ve done”, said Professor Mary Laven
