Four-acre traveller site 'illegally built at weekend'
A four-acre unauthorised traveller site was rapidly constructed over the UK bank holiday weekend in Willows Green, near Felsted, Essex, with residents describing the operation as "military-like" and expressing fear, frustration, and distress over the development. Uttlesford District Council is assessing the site to consider enforcement action; Braintree MP Sir James Cleverly accuses the travellers of exploiting council off-hours to "game the system", while traveller rights campaigner Sherrie Smith states the landowning cousins aim to build a better future for their children and have apologised for disruption.
