My Comments on Responses to January 2015 Colchester Consultation

I've had a look online through the responses to the January 2015 Colchester consultation and I found these of particular interest:

Essex Wildlife Trust, see here. (Archived by WebCite® on 19 July 2015.)

Colchester Natural History Society, see here. (Archived by WebCite® on 19 July 2015.)

Responses from other groups, see here. (Archived by WebCite® on 19 July 2015.)

Natural England (under 'Public Bodies'), see here. (Archived by WebCite® on 19 July 2015.)

Tony and Lisa Barker, see here. (Archived by WebCite® on 19 July 2015.)

Sir Bob Russell, see here, here and here. (Archived here, here, and here by WebCite® on 19 July 2015.)

Cllrs Cook, Hogg and Chuah, see here. (Archived by WebCite® on 19 July 2015.)

Also, I saw eleven responses that used the template letter from this blog.

Regarding the historical environment of Colchester in general:
English Heritage (under 'Public Bodies'), see here. (Archived by WebCite® on 19 July 2015.)

I think it's a shame that the politicians (Sir Bob Russell and the councillors above) didn't publicise the consultation more to residents of East Colchester. East Colchester had the fewest responses from residents out of all the areas, according to my check of the responses online.
