Former residents of the UK's largest unauthorised Travellers' site are to argue at a public inquiry for two new places to live in Essex.
The Dale Farm Residents Association is to make its case at the Basildon Centre and will ask for a mobile-home park in Church Lane in nearby Laindon.
It also wants a second site near Dale Farm, at Gardiner's Lane in Crays Hill.
Both sites belong to the Homes and Communities Agency which offered them to Basildon Council as traveller plots.
The inquiry will consider the council's decision to refuse planning permission for 12 permanent plots.
The council is challenging a claim from the travellers that 60 temporary pitches to meet their immediate need of travellers would also be considered.
They describe this as "misinformation".
Many former residents have parked caravans in lanes near their former homes at Dale Farm.
