Travellers have brazenly started turning a protected 4-acre wildlife haven into a caravan site in Willows Green near Felsted, Essex, an army of around 30 vehicles and diggers descended under cover of darkness on Friday night using floodlights and generators, they ripped up vegetation, bulldozed protected habitats for great-crested newts, destroyed an ancient hedgerow and filled in a ditch with rubble to create a new access road, all of this happened just hours after Uttlesford District Council closed its doors for the entire three-day Bank Holiday weekend, locals woke up to the shocking devastation and say the council had been warned but took no pre-emptive action, by the time offices reopen on Tuesday the field could already be a fully fledged caravan park, residents are furious at the total failure to protect the pristine countryside and rare wildlife including albino fallow deer,
