Villagers under siege from a traveller 'invasion' say they are now 'outnumbered' and being 'driven out' after a surge of land-grabs saw several 'illegal' camps set up. Residents living in the tranquil Surrey hamlet of Horne say their rural oasis has been transformed into a 'battleground' after unauthorised sites were set up by groups. At least six have been created by 'land-grabbing' travellers in recent months, who have pitched up in fields and developed upon them without planning permission, locals say.Three sites are based within 300ft of each other, in the country road of Bones Lane, while several others have been set up in nearby New Chapel and Alfold. Meanwhile, within less than two miles of the hamlet, there are at least 14 camps. Furious villagers are now considering launching a retaliatory operation to barricade roads with tractors to stop more travellers from arriving, while others are contemplating selling their homes.It comes as a council leader chillingly warned the construction of the unauthorised sites was on the cusp of leading to 'serious unrest' descending upon the hamlet.'We are literally being pushed out of our homes... we are now estimating that in one road with three of these sites, the travellers outnumber the locals now,' one local told the Daily Mail. 'Residents have even spoken about barricading the road with tractors... That's how upset people are. They are prepared to literally barricade the travellers in.
