Greater #Anglia has provided a £20,000 grant for secure cycle storage lockers at #Colchester Town station, in partnership with Spokesafe and Colchester City Council. The lockers, accessible via a mobile app, offer secure storage for cyclists and visitors. Costs are £1 per day, £5 per week, or £10 per month. This initiative supports sustainable travel and helps reduce road congestion. The funding is part of Greater Anglia’s Customer and Community Improvement Fund, which supports projects enhancing community benefits. The scheme also includes new signage to guide people from the station to Colchester General Hospital.

Council decision to close public spring upsets Colchester residents
The Municipality of the County of Colchester announced in a Facebook post last month that it would soon be decommissioning the Lower Truro spring "due to health, safety and liability concerns."

The late Anglo-Saxon west doorway at Holy Trinity Church in Colchester. Dating to the mid-11th century, the doorway incorporates re-used Roman bricks.

Work to rebuild #Colchester #railway station's car park has entered the design stage. The decked car park has been demolished, with a temporary access road and pedestrian walkway in place. The new design will increase accessible bays, improve lighting and CCTV, and add new cycle and motorcycle parking. The detailed design will be completed before construction begins, with the project expected to finish by summer 2026. The car park closed in July 2024 due to structural concerns, but other areas of the station car park can accommodate all vehicles. Greater Anglia's Asset Management Director, Simone Bailey, thanked customers for their patience and understanding during the works.

An exhibition titled ‘Do You See What I See?’ is being held at #Colchester rail station to raise awareness of sight loss, coinciding with the 200th anniversaries of the modern #railway and Braille. Launched on 18 March, the exhibition features art created by blind and partially sighted (BPS) individuals, showcasing their unique perceptions of the world. It includes railway heritage signs with braille and tactile lettering.
Supported by the #Essex Sight Loss Council and funded by the Thomas Pocklington Trust, the exhibition aims to challenge misconceptions about art #accessibility for BPS people. It will remain on display until the end of April.
Additionally, a symposium will be held to gather insights from BPS passengers to improve transport accessibility. Greater Anglia's Customer and Community Improvement Fund has supported this initiative, highlighting the importance of community-focused rail improvements.

#Colchester in #Essex is apparently 9th most surveilled area in the UK, according to counts of #Council #CCTV camera schemes..
I guess this is what comes of ignoring the long term effects of #ToxicMasculinity for 30 years (and also being a town with an active #military #barracks) - nearly 20 years ago a young lass told me how the city streets were a warzone at night due to angry men on 'roids and #cocaine

The whole inner portion of the city of #Colchester in #Essex was locked off by #Police with a dispersal order (officers can order anyone to leave immediately) following a rise in #violence #CriminalDamage and #AntiSocialBehaviour (presumably a bit more than an average weekend in the area, for such measures to be taken)

I don't have the kit the old bill have nor the raw video footage, but from checking a map of #Colchester the front of the building opposite is about 33 metres, it was barely a second for the car to pass. So It is very likely to have been driven in excess of the 30mph (48 km/h) speed limit in that area. I can't understand why folk smart enough to go up to Uni (with no other record of crime/bad behaviour) would choose to drive like that..
