Campaigners fighting plans to move Colchester's bus station have organised a rally outside the town hall.
Friends of the Earth, members of C-Bus, the Colchester bus users' group, and other supporters of the Queen Street bus station are to meet at the town hall at 5pm tomorrow.
Colchester Council is putting together a document for the regeneration of St Botolph's quarter, including a new art gallery, with the bus station moving to Osborne Street.
But the scheme has attracted widespread opposition.
The plan to move the bus station has been bitterly opposed by various groups. The town's MP Bob Russell has called for the issue to be put to a referendum.
The latest version of the plan, which includes a part on-street, part off-street bus station in Osborne Street in a bid to appease objectors, will go before Colchester Council's cabinet tomorrow.
If approved, it will then go out to public consultation again, before the final plan goes to the council for approval later this year.
