Climate change campaign group Extinction Rebellion say they will hold a week-long roadblock in Cambridge if a list of demands to the city's key institutions are not met.

They made three requests on New Year's Day, one each for the County Council, City Council and University of Cambridge.

Extinction Rebellion's three demands:

The University of Cambridge must cut ties with the fossil fuel industry.

Cambridge City Council must hold a Citizens’ Assembly on Climate Justice.

Cambridgeshire County Council must work with other relevant regional authorities to provide a plan for a just transition away from an inadequate transport system reliant on fossil fuels.

The pressure group have announced a march from Shire Hall to Senate House and the Guildhall on Sunday, 5 January to make their requests.

They are threatening to cause a week's worth of disruption if the councils and University do not comply.

A Facebook event for a seven-day strike from the 16 February has already been set up by Extinction Rebellion.

It said: "XR Cambridge and XR Youth Cambridge will bring the city to a halt with a week-long roadblock if the institutions of Cambridge do not meet our three local demands on climate and social justice."
