Residents and businesses have spoken of their concern after a traveller family moved onto an empty factory site earmarked for housing.
Four caravans arrived on the former Premdor site in Swan Street, Sible Hedingham, on Sunday.
The travellers vowed to leave on Wednesday night, but did not.
They eventually vacated the site yesterday afternoon.
