TRAVELLERS have set up two unauthorised encampments in Tiptree.
About eight vehicles, including vans and trucks, pitched up on Windmill Green, off Kelvedon Road, on Saturday afternoon and a group of about five also set up on land off Pennsylvania Lane, near Maldon Road.
Colchester councillor John Elliott confirmed travellers were at both sites and said a group had previously set up on Windmill Green late last year, but it was a first for Pennsylvania Lane.
It is not known if the groups there now have set up camp in the area before.
