From the Essex County Standard

TRAVELLERS set up illegal camp next to Colchester’s Weston Homes Community Stadium.

Three caravans arrived on the land to the east of the stadium yesterday.

Residents have alerted Colchester Council, which owns the land, and it has already begun proceedings to clear the site.
