The eyewitness told this newspaper more than 100 caravans arrived overnight and into the morning with ‘more still arriving’ on the site in Steers Lane, Forge Wood.

A spokeswoman for Crawley Borough Council said: “It’s private land. As far as we’re aware private bailiffs have been notified and the community have been [served] notice.

“If they’re still there tomorrow I anticipate enforcement action will be taken.”
