AS the EU Referendum debate reaches fever pitch today, we asked - how will Colchester vote?

The results are now in.

The Leave camp came out on top, with 1,278 votes - representing 50 per cent of all votes.

Remain gained 1,093 - 43 per cent of the vote.

Five per cent (131 people) were still unsure and two per cent (56 people) said they would not be voting.

We'll have to wait until early tomorrow morning for the real result.

Our reporter, Paul Nizinskyj, will be live-blogging the Essex results from County Hall in Chelmsford.
