A nationwide injunction has been granted against radical environmental protestors Insulate Britain, the transport secretary has said, covering the country's "entire strategic road network."
"We are making use of every avenue of existing law to try to prevent the continued life-endangering action being carried out by Insulate Britain, which is causing intolerable disruption to motorists' lives and livelihoods," Grant Shapps said.
"This new interim injunction will ban activities that obstruct motorways and major A roads across the entire country."
This comes after severe disruptions on Britain's roads earlier this week that sparked outrage and a backlash against the radical group.
Police Monday reportedly were initially unable to move or arrest some Insulate Britain protestors because they had physically glued themselves to the ground.
