Colchester town centre during coronavirus READERS have shared their opinions on how they would revitalise Colchester town centre. On the Gazette’s Facebook page, we asked readers how they would improve the town centre and high street in Colchester. Many were in favour of a redesign focussing on pedestrianisation, more independent businesses, and better transport connections. Craigland Ramsey said a new bus station would be a good start, introducing another park and ride from town to university. Debby Newman said there were too many fast-food places and not enough ‘decent’ shops. One commenter, Stephen McHugh, had an idea to ban all transport from the high street, and to look at European cities for inspiration.
