RELIGIOUS leaders have thanked people for the patience after works to improve a church were completed.

Kingsland Church, in Lexden, Colchester, has had a series of new signs put in place at its home in London Road.

Traffic had to be diverted while the project was taking place.

A message shared by the church reads: “We are super happy with the new look and hope it plays its part in making our stretch of London Road look a bit nicer.”

It added: “We want to thank you for your patience.”
