In our research methodology  I have gathered information from many newspapers, radio stations and the television, due to the subject being the latest recently solved issue.

The newspapers are the Essex enquirer, daily mail, Maldon and Burnham – the standard, Essex chronicle and the independent.

The Chelmsford radio and radio Essex.

Television news from the BBC and ITV Anglia region.

The reason why I are using these sources is because they are a proper source that is up to date and is not a second grade site by an individual e.g. Wikipedia. The Sources are modern reports from big incorporations at get the news on site, straight away and from the county council, etc.

Ethics:  the moral of the story is that these travels have to a bay the law and cant base camp in the green belt land illegally. The ethical problems I could face in this contentious issue is that it has not been logged in a book or journal.

Qualitative:

1.Why has taken so long to get rid of the travellers:

2.Where have they spend so much money, but not got any where?

3.Why are we tax payers paying for the travellers to go to court anyway?

4.How did they go to court for human rights?

5.Why  don’t the travellers just move sites offered to them?

6.Why did they use human activists  to block the entrance.

Quantitative : 

1. Because court case after court case, it wont make a final date to move them. Finally 11 years.

2. They have battled through the council, government and the courts to evict them.

3. Because of the legal aid system.

4. Because they were trying every angle to stay.

5. Because they would rather stay together.

6. As a treat to stop the police forces from breaking in and cleaning them out.
