COLCHESTER town centre is set to change dramatically over the coming years. In part influenced by the Covid pandemic and the changing retail market, some big names are likely to be leaving the high street soon. But there are also more positive changes on their way, with huge investment on its way to the town centre. One part of the town is set to see more of this investment than most. The area around St Nicholas Square, in St Nicholas Street, is set to undergo a total revamp. The old co-op department store, in Long Wyre Street, is being totally transformed into a new retail, leisure and homes development, anchored by a new Loungers restaurant.
