A TOTAL of 34 streets will closed in Glasgow on Saturday from the early hours of the morning until evening as the city prepares for mass climate change protests. 

Glasgow roads will shut from 5am-6pm, as between 50,000-100,000 people are expected to take part in the 'Global Day of Action for Climate Justice' on November 6.

Thousands of other marches have also been organised across the globe, but the world's eyes are on Glasgow for both the climate summit and the activist action expected to take place alongside it.

Participants are set to gather in and around Kelvingrove at the Stewart Memorial Fountain from 11am.

The march will kick off at 12pm. Aswell as heading down Sauchiehall street and George Square, activists will continue down the High Street and Saltmarket and will finally rally in Glasgow Green.
