James Cleverly hits out at travellers over 'illegal camp' at idyllic village

An outraged James Cleverly has accused travellers of 'gaming the system' after they started building an 'illegal' camp in an idyllic village over the May bank holiday weekend.An army of workers descended on a four-acre wildlife haven in the historic hamlet of Willows Green, near Felsted, Essex, within hours of the local district council closing its doors for the Bank Holiday weekend on Friday.About 30 vehicles, including cars, vans and several diggers, were brought onto the field under the cover of darkness in the Conservative MP's constituency.Vegetation was ripped up to prepare the ground for a hardcore and tarmac base. Today, aerial photos showed fences already installed as diggers continued to lay rubble.
