A total of 29 people have been arrested after environmental protesters glued themselves to the carriageway of the M25 in Hertfordshire.<\/p>\n
Members of Insulate Britain confirmed they blocked slip roads in a \u201cnumber\u201d of locations and poured paint on to the roads as part of their campaign to improve home insulation. They added that many of the people involved in the protests on 20 September have previously been involved in four other similar demonstrations which took place last week across junctions in Kent, Essex, and Surrey.<\/p>\n
Hertfordshire Constabulary were called to junction 18 (Chorleywood) of the motorway at 8.12am and found \u201cseveral\u201d protesters glued to the carriageway. They arrested 13 people and the road has been partially reopened.<\/p>\n
