The protest group Just Stop Oil will hold a ‘go slow’ march in Lancaster this weekend.
The march will take place tomorrow (Saturday May 13), going from Dalton Square at 10am.
The action is part of a nationwide campaign by the group to lobby the government to halt new fossil fuel licences being issued in the UK.
In March, protestors brought traffic to a standstill in Lancaster city centre during a similar event.
The Just Stop Oil group is campaigning for more action on climate change but their tactics, which include blocking busy motorways, have faced criticism.
The government plans to license more than 100 new oil and gas projects by 2025.
"Lancaster people like people all over the UK just got through a hellish winter with sky-high heating bills and food bills," said Fiona, one of the demonstrators, speaking at the March protest.
"Meanwhile our government is investing tax payers money, our money in fossil fuels - 236 million quid a week subsidising an industry that's rolling in money whilst destroying our future.
"Extreme weather events happening more often means crop failures and water shortages. We need that money investing in renewables which are currently nine times cheaper."
A government spokesperson said it remained "fully committed" to reaching net zero by 2050 however with "Russia weaponising energy across Europe, it must do so in a way that protected energy security".
"This includes increasing domestic gas supply, which we've always been clear will have a role in our transition to net zero. But we will also continue to drive forward our commitments on nuclear and renewables like offshore wind," it said.
"While we respect the right to protest, people's day-to-day lives should not be disrupted, and criminal activity will not be tolerated."
