Following the completion of the playground at Wheatfield Road over the summer, work has now started on a major programme to improve playgrounds across Colchester, with Queensland Drive and Elizabeth Close the first sites to get under way.
Colchester will commemorate the 82nd anniversary of the Battle of Arnhem with a special service, honouring the bravery and sacrifice of airborne soldiers and celebrating the city's enduring friendship with Renkum in the Netherlands.
The Town Hall and Castle will be illuminated green on Thursday 10 September as part of a countywide campaign to mark World Suicide Prevention Day and raise awareness of suicide prevention.
Through participating in Institute of Cemetery & Crematorium Management metal recycling scheme, the £48,000 generated through the recycling process were donated to six local bereavement charities in the past two years.
The investment includes a new pavement sweeper, two pavement scrubbers, additional frontline operatives, increased licensing capacity to support new regulatory powers, and body-worn cameras for city centre wardens
