COLCHESTER Council should look to buy a defunct army repair base in a bid to boost the town s Roman Circus, it has been claimed. The MoD is set to put the former Army Base Repair Organisation (ABRO) site, in Flagstaff Road, up for sale early next year. Colchester Council s Local Plan committee has agreed to extend the conservation area surrounding the town s garrison to include the ABRO site as well as Roman Circus House, home of Colchester Archaelogical Trust and Britain s only known Roman Circus. A development brief is also being created to help shape any future plans for the ABRO site, which is set to go out to consultation next year.
