Just Stop Oil activists have announced plans to carry out a slow march in Kendal this week.
The action is set to take place on Saturday morning April 29 as part of the organisations wider goal demanding that the government stops all new UK oil and gas projects.
Activists 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 organisation said the actions are being carried out in defiance of the Prime Minister’s recent plan to crack down on the ‘go slow’ marches.
A spokesman for Just Stop Oil said: “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 government ends new oil and gas.”
