Colchester Ward Boundary Consultation
There is a consultation on changes to the ward boundaries in Colchester.
The consultation is open until 4th August 2014.
To participate, follow this link: Click Here
Then click on 'Have your say' near the top.
On the next page, you can draw on the ward diagram, but it is not neccesary - you can just type your comments below the diagram, then enter your personal details, then press 'Submit'.
This is the text of my submission:
"The area to the north of the A133 to the East of Colchester, which is currently part of the Wivenhoe Cross Ward, should become part of St. Anne's or St. Andrew's.
This area should be part of St. Anne's or St. Andrew's because there are new developments proposed for this area, which will have far more impact on St. Andrew's and St.Anne's residents than on Wivenhoe Cross Residents."
Feel free to use the same text, if you agree.
As usual, feel free to comment on this blog post, using the tool below.

Tendring Council Local Plan Committee Meeting 15th July 2014
I attended this meeting, along with around 100 other members of the public.
The minutes and recording will be on the Tendring Council website in due course, I expect.
Councillor Cook, a Colchester Councillor for St Anne's, spoke from the public benches to make comments about the 'Colchester Fringe' proposals.
I don't think public speakers at the meeting have the same effect as objections sent during the public consultation, because as the Chairman pointed out, the public are really only attending the meeting, not fully participating. So I still think it's a shame that no St Anne's politicians objected during the public consultation earlier this year (see my earlier blog post).
Joe also spoke with comments about potential loss of valued views in the proposed 'Colchester Fringe' area, and also made a point about the NPPF. Joe had also previously emailed a submission to Tendring Council for the meeting, which they had received.
Some very interesting maps and text from Tendring Council regarding the Colchester Fringe proposals were shown, which are in addition to the ones I mentioned in my previous blog post, but in the same document.
These extra maps and text are here:
'Figure 14 – Land at Plains Farm, south of A120', and 'Figure 15 – Land east of Colchester between A133 and A120' and bullet points 5.9 to 5.16 in
'A2 Appendix E - Identifying Broad Locations for Potential Settlement Expansion - July 2014'
(This document is available from the agenda page for the meeting and should be available from the minutes.)
It was stressed that at this time, Tendring Council are only putting forward high-level possibilities. Some of the land mentioned has not yet been put forward for development by its owners.

Tendring Council Local Plan Committee Meeting 15th July 2014 - Agenda
The agenda for this meeting is now online:
Tendring Local Plan Committee Agenda - Tuesday 15 July 2014 - 6.00 p.m.
Council Chamber, Council Offices, Thorpe Road, Weeley, CO16 9AJ
Click Here
(The above link will probably become invalid at a later date, when the agenda is replaced online by the minutes. The documents mentioned below should be found in the minutes in that case, if not - email me and I will see what I can do.)
I have had a look at some of the many documents linked-to from the above agenda.
Most relevant to the CHEAG campaign is section A.2 - 'Vision and Spatial Strategy for the new Local Plan'.
Objections received regarding the 'Colchester Fringe' proposals are mentioned here:
'Concerns about the possibility of development around the Colchester Fringe' in
'Key Messages From Previous Public Consultation' in
'A2 Report - Vision And Spatial Strategy For The New Local Plan, 15 July 2014'
You will get a good 'bang for your buck' regarding the new proposals by reading the following section:
Section 4.6 Onwards - 'Colchester Fringe' under
'Strategic Urban Settlements' in
'A2 Appendix E - Identifying Broad Locations for Potential Settlement Expansion - July 2014'
Also:
'A2 Appendix C - Vision and Spatial Strategy Key Diagram'
is quick to look at!
