POLL: What do you think about the Colchester High Street car ban?
CARS are set to be permanently banned from Colchester High Street, the Gazette has revealed.
The vehicles were originally banned in June 2020 to increase space for pedestrians and enable social distancing as retailers reopened following the first national lockdown.
Buses, taxis, blue badge holders and motorbikes are still able to use the High Street, but general traffic has since been unable to between 7am and 7pm.
Essex County Council has now issued a public notice stating it is set to make the move permanent, with an objection period set to end on April 15.
But what do you think about the idea? Vote in our poll below:
