A grieving son missed his father’s funeral because of road chaos caused by environmental protesters.
Tim Bambury set off from his home in Buckinghamshire towards Essex when he was caught up in gridlock traffic on Monday.protesters had blocked parts of the M25, a stunt the group have repeated throughout the week. Mr Bambury says he got off the motorway but smaller roads were backed up with cars looking for an alternative route, leaving him with no hope of being there to bury his loved one.
When he realised there was no chance of arriving on time, he called his family to say say ‘there’s nothing we can do here, we just have to go back’.‘My brother and his family were there, I wanted to be there, and I had a eulogy that I was going to say about my father.‘These people have forced me not to go to my own father’s funeral by their actions and it’s not like I can get a second chance at this.
Responding to Mr Bambury, a Just Stop Oil spokesperson told ITV: ‘It’s just awful – it’s terrible that this happens. I wish it didn’t happen but we don’t have a choice at the moment.‘We feel like this action has to be taken to bring the government to account on what they’re not doing.’The force said it happened while they were trying to deal with a protester in the road.
