<\/p>\n

A private estate that is home to a host of celebrities – including former Chelsea star Claude Makelele and Big Brother contestant Shilpa Shetty – is being taken over by a gang of squatters.<\/div>\n
And well-heeled residents of the gated St George\u2019s Hill community in Weybridge, Surrey, are being asked to be \u2018vigilant\u2019 following the arrival of their new neighbours.<\/div>\n
Six squatters moved into the abandoned ?3million, six-bedroom Woodlawn Cottage on the exclusive estate last month, and claim they are not acting illegally.<\/div>\n
But homeowners – who also include actress Hannah Gordon and Dragon\u2019s Den panelist Theo Paphitis – say they want the interlopers turfed out.  <\/div>\n
\u2018It does seem pretty extraordinary that the police can\u2019t do anything to get these people off the estate,\u2019 one resident told The Daily Telegraph.<\/div>\n
\u2018They have no right to be here, yet the law appears to be on their side – it\u2019s completely wrong.\u2019<\/div>\n
Properties on the estate can sell for ?10million. Former residents include Sir Elton John, Ringo Starr, Cliff Richard and Kate Winslet. <\/div>\n
The estate\u2019s management company has now contacted receivers handling the squatters\u2019 home asking that they \u2018take immediate action to evict them\u2019.<\/div>\n
A security guard is now employed to keep the property under surveillance and police have set up extra patrols of the area.<\/div>\n
But the squatters are unrepentant, claiming they plan to stay \u2018as long as possible\u2019.<\/div>\n
The property, located just yards from the estate\u2019s members-only tennis club, was abandoned at least six years ago and has since become derelict.<\/div>\n
A Surrey police spokesman confirmed that officers had visited the property, adding: \u2018Officers spoke with the people inside the property before notifying St George\u2019s Hill security staff and the owners of the property, who are pursuing this as a civil matter\u2019.<\/div>\n
