A THREE-MAN protest was staged on East Hill, Colchester, calling for the bus lanes to be scrapped.

Ian Goldsworthy, James Blyth and Michael Franklin held placards and handed out leaflets to drivers performing U-turns at Lewis Gardens, the entrance to Firstsite.

They are calling on Essex County Council to reverse the controversial restrictions, which stop drivers travelling up North Hill and turning from High Street into Queen Street.
