A campaigner who launched a legal battle which quashed planning permission for oil drilling near Gatwick is calling for the extraction to end immediately.

In June Supreme Court judges said Surrey County Council should have looked at the climate impacts of burning the oil extracted from the site at Horse Hill, outside Horley.
