Residents in Willows Green near Felsted, Essex, report that travellers have moved onto land and carried out concrete or paving works over the May bank holiday weekend, which they describe as an illegal land grab. The reporting also links the incident to a separate case in Surrey involving the same family, where residents previously said travellers bulldozed or concreted over countryside. According to the accounts, that family then purchases a field in Essex for about £150,000, following the earlier alleged breach of land in Surrey. The coverage characterises both events as unauthorized development on countryside land, drawing community concern from local residents. The articles describe the impact on the surrounding area and the distress expressed by residents who say they witnessed the works taking place. The reporting does not indicate the outcome of any investigations or legal proceedings, but it presents the Essex incident as a second alleged attempt to occupy and develop land without permission after an earlier controversy elsewhere.
