Extinction Rebellion are set to protest against new roads which demonstrators say will lead to more deaths by pollution.
The climate change campaigners will unfurl banners on bridges above the M4 tomorrow (Saturday) at junction 11 (A33) and the footbridge at Cutbush Lane.
Reading teacher and XR demonstrator Dani Esposito said she will be at the protest for her three sons.
