A group called Just Stop Oil said it had blocked seven ‘key oil’ terminals early today as police said they were dealing with activists.
The group also provided locations for demonstrations in Essex and Hertfordshire.
The organisation said the actions are being carried out by supporters of Just Stop Oil as well as Extinction Rebellion.
‘Fed up with a government burning your future – join us on the road,’ the group tweeted.

Demonstrations are expected across the country in the coming days over the cost-of-living crisis.
