Residents of an affluent Hampshire village are furious after travellers allegedly transformed a meadow into a concrete site without authorisation over the late May bank holiday weekend.Locals in Wivelrod, where average property prices reach £2.3million, claim the group deliberately timed the work to coincide with the holiday period when council staff were unavailable.According to villagers, approximately 20 lorries and 40 workers arrived on Friday, May 22, with machinery heard "rumbling" and "beeping" from around 5pm.The operation continued through the night, with residents reporting that hardcore was dumped across the agricultural land, six septic tanks were installed, and the field was concreted over before caravans were moved onto the site.
