Environmental group Extinction Rebellion says it does not plan to storm parts of Windsor Castle as part of protest campsite, which the council has said it 'cannot support'. 

Extinction Rebellion is planning a three-day protest in Home Park near Windsor Castle with thousands expected to attend between Friday August 30 to Sunday, September 1. 

The group has said it it is currently amending the campsite to accommodate nearby rugby pitches. 

Reports in on the MailOnline have claimed that the group plans to storm parts of Windsor Castle as part of the weekend of action to highlight climate change. 

But now the group has told The Slough Observer that this is 'misinformation', as there are 'no plans to storm Windsor castle, any hotels nor cause public disruption during our three day event'. 

Marjin van de Geer, Citizens Assembly Working Group for XRUK, said: "We won't be storming any castles - but we will be hatching exciting plans to fix the current broken system that is burning down the planet.

"The weekend's centrepiece, the Massembly, invites the public to explore alternative democratic models and work together toward a fairer future.

"This gathering is about uniting communities for positive change, not disruption or alienation."

In advise given to attending activists from Extinction Rebellion, the group said the campsite will be 'liaised' with steward volunteers, as well as water, food, and toilets provided. 

But plans for the large campsite have been blocked by Windsor Borough Council, which released a statement saying no permission for the site has been given. 

In the statement, a spokesperson for the council said: "As part of the council’s engagement with the organisers; we have reviewed their larger plans for a three-day festival style event with overnight camping and other licensable activity on a council managed park and is this is something the council has not given permission for and cannot support.

"Primarily our decision focuses on the safety of the event itself, and also the impact on our residents, businesses, visitors and other public services such as police, fire and ambulance. 

"While the council recognises Extinction Rebellion’s central message on addressing the climate emergency, and respects the right for peaceful protest, we have a responsibility to ensure public safety."

Thames Valley Police will 'not tolerate criminal behaviour' with those committing offences to be dealt with 'swiftly and robustly', according to a spokesperson from the force. 

They added: “We have been in contact with the organisers and are working closely with partners to put a comprehensive plan in place to facilitate peaceful protest and ensure the safety of all those in attendance and other members of the public.

An Extinction Rebellion spokesperson said the group had been in conversation 'for months' with the Crown Estate, the council, and the police about the weekend of action. 

The spokesperson added: "The action will go ahead as planned, and XRUK is doing everything it can to ensure that both the protest and the campsite will be safe for everyone."
