A peaceful protest is happening outside a petrol station in Oadby this lunchtime.
Greenpeace are protesting outside the Shell petrol station on London Road Oadby.
Jeff Rice from Leicester Greenpeace said:
“The science is clear: burning oil, gas and coal is driving the climate crisis and making extreme weather more frequent and severe.
Yet while communities deal with the consequences, fossil fuel companies like Shell continue to make billions from the fuels driving the problem.”
“After the summer we've just experienced, allowing a huge new oil field like Rosebank to go ahead would take us in exactly the wrong direction. Instead of allowing fossil fuel companies to keep profiting while the rest of us pay the price, the Government should be investing in clean, renewable energy and moving us away from oil and gas.”
