EXTINCTION Rebellion is carrying out a protest against fossil fuel at Fawley refinery.

Motorists have complained about traffic in the area as a result of the group's actions, which feature a pink boat called Beverly Geronimo.

XR announced at 7.30am at the boat was at the site, and protestors are demanding that the Government bans all fossil fuel investments.

 

Traffic is building in the area and one reader shared a picture, saying many motorists are stuck in the gridlock and that the action was "causing more harm than good".
