FREE health checks are on offer to Colchester residents this week - on a specially designed bus.

The double-decker bus is going around the town all week, and can check BMI, blood pressure and other aspects of health.

Experts are also on hand to give advice on how to get and stay healthy.

The initiative is being run by the NHS North East Essex Clinical Commissioning Group and ACE community health group, in partnership with Pfizer Limited.

  • The bus will be outside the town hall again tomorrow (Wednesday) and in the Tesco car park, the Hythe, Greenstead Road, on Thursday and Friday from 10am to 4pm.
