A POPULAR events venue in Colchester has seen scaffolding put up outside of it as works take place to repair part of the building and survey the roof.

Charter Hall, next to Leisure World, has seen the frames outside of the building for “at least a couple of weeks”, according to some residents.

It has now been revealed why they have been put up.

A spokesman for Colchester Council did say “no serious structural works are being carried out”.

However, they added a survey of the roof is taking place, as well as the replacement of some missing or damaged tiles.
