Nathan McGovern, 22, from the city, is among those demonstrating on Black Friday.

The protesters are “disrupting and stopping any lorries from exiting and entering this facility”, he added.

He said they are hoping to stay for 48 hours but it is up to individuals if they want to stay for that entire period.
