We live in a lovely second floor flat overlooking the sea (the sea is about 200 meters away). There is a small fenced field (it used to be the sports field for the local primary school) just behind our car park.
Yesterday afternoon a largish group of 'travellers' broke in to the field and have set up camp. We are a very small block of 9 flats, many owned by elderly residents and I think everyone is quite upset by this.
Fortunately one of my neighbours is a policeman and the wheels have been set in motion to get a court order to evict them, but this could take up to a week.
They are literally 10 metres from our car park boundary fence and there was a lot of noise til about 11.30 last night.
I am feeling stressed and upset, I don't want to open the blinds, if I can see them, then they can see me.
Am I overreacting ? This is usually such a quiet, peaceful area and it feels like we have been violated.
