Extinction Rebellion Leeds - where is the protest today, is Victoria Bridge still closed and what are the traffic problems

The Extinction Rebellion protest has caused chaos on the roads.

Protesters remained camped out on Victoria Bridge and have blocked the Bridgewater Place and Sovereign Street junction.

The five-day protest began on Monday, July 15 and is set to last until Friday.

Traffic has been disrupted by the protest.

Today the protest will move into the city centre as protesters march to Briggate.

There they will hold a mass "die-in" - where they lay on the floor and pretend to be dead.

West Yorkshire Police issued another warning today to the public about the road closures due to the protest.

In an update on Twitter, a spokesperson said: "We are continuing to remind the public to plan ahead & be aware of road closures on Victoria bridge/Neville St/Bridgewater place in Leeds due to the on going environmental protest."

There were long tailbacks on Globe Road each day this week due to diversions away from the area, as well as slow and congested traffic into the city centre.

Buses also have to divert away from Victoria Road, Neville Street and Water Lane.
