I recall in this paper in June, the MP for Colchester stated Tymperleys was “safe”, and he labelled my petition and campaign to save it “grossly misleading”.

Bob Russell owes the people of Colchester an apology, as we now discover Colchester’s Lib Dem-led council has put Tymperleys, which was gifted to the town, on the market for £250k.

I suspected all along this was a fundraising exercise for the council and evidence suggests this to be the case.
