WORK is progressing on a scheme which is converting four former office blocks into flats.

Fairfax House is one of four properties at Riverside Office Centre off North Station Road in Colchester.

Metal fencing is now in place at the site and construction vehicles have been seen working on the building.

The plans were approved by Colchester Council in 2021 despite scores of objections from residents.

The scheme is also seeing Century House North, Century House South and Digby House converted into flats.
