The High Court issued an injunction prohibiting a group of travellers from residing at the Willows Green caravan site near Braintree, Essex. The order was obtained by Uttlesford District Council, which became aware of the development in early May and secured an initial injunction on May 7. Justice Ritchie described the travellers' actions as a 'rapid-action, pitch-building operation with heavy machinery' and found no evidence of habitation at the time of the initial order, calling their claims of residential occupation 'full of holes'.
