I was out supporting local residents and businesses at their public meeting today to outline their concern and opposition to the Crouch Street West proposals. Huge turnout showing the considerable opposition to the plans as they stand. Now is the time to hit the pause button and re-think.
I'm all for cycling and public realm investment in Colchester city centre but it's vital that we maintain the unique character of destinations like Crouch Street West. I have asked Cllr Lee Scott to hit the pause button and address the concerns of local residents and businesses. Please find my letter to Cllr Lee Scott below.
