Travellers returned to a Braintree industrial estate, sparking concern among neighbouring residents.


About 10 “brand new” caravans turned up on the run down Broomhills industrial estate on Sunday afternoon and there were four remaining by Monday afternoon. 

One woman, who is in her fifties and has lived next to the industrial estate for nearly a decade, said travellers had spent last Halloween, Christmas and New Year on the industrial estate.

She said: “They had a big firework display in November last year.

“It’s dreadful to see them back."
