London’s transport authority has sought permission from the High Court to take legal action against 183 climate activists who have blocked busy roads in the British capital in protest against the use of fossil fuels.

Transport for London (TfL), a local government body responsible for most of the capital’s transport network, is seeking to prevent further road-blocking actions by activist group Just Stop Oil, an offshoot of Extinction Rebellion.
