More than 100 Eastern European migrants living at a disused holiday park are being forced to leave after locals accused them of creating an ‘intimidating atmosphere’.
A petition was set up and signed by more than 2,000 residents opposing the arrival of agricultural workers at the former South Downs Holiday Village in Bracklesham, near Chichester.
