Just Stop Oil comprises several activist groups which have come together to protest at the continued use of fossil fuels.

You may well remember the removal of protesters that the National Eviction Team undertook in January and February 2021 at Euston Square Gardens, central London.

The Government has made an amendment to the Public Order Bill to make it a criminal offence to cause serious disruption by creating and occupying tunnels or to go equipped to create tunnels.

The anti-vax protesters still remain active around the world, causing concern for local authorities, police, hospitals, schools, politicians and private landlords.

Many of the protester evictions we work on involve the safe removal of protesters who have put themselves in a high, and often precarious, situation.
