@AabCoyi The current planned development only removes 83 of these spaces.

@yourcolchester Britannia holds 369 spaces , Sunday it was full , Napier Rd was full too, are you seriously saying Osborne St will cope?? You are seriously turning people away from town , the sad thing is the current regime takes little notice of residents/ voters views or opinions

@yourcolchester yesterday afternoon at 2pm Britannia Car Park was near on full! Simple question where will those of us from south of town park when you stupidly decide to close Britannia?? What do you think the impact on the town centre will be ??
