Police descended on the protest today over concerns the large gathering in Haven Road breached Covid regulations. The furious campaigners are battling against proposals by Oikos to more than double the amount of fuel stored at its plant on the island. Police informed the group that under Covid regulations only 30 protestors are permitted to gather at once. Documentary maker Jessi Gutch, 29, from south east London co-ordinated the rally after researching and working with residents and praised the huge turnout. She said: “It went really well and we had speeches and chanting and then the police came and we had to disperse. You are allowed 30 people at a protest.
