I would like to congratulate everyone who took part in the Stanway Day of Action.
I was lucky enough to join people from organisations such as Colchester Council, Essex County Council, the police and others at the start for the early morning briefing.
During the course of the day, events such as litterpicking, speed checks, dealing with dog fouling, information on recycling and trading standards were all dealt with by a dedicated number of people, including political colleagues of all parties.
I was delighted and grateful for the work undertaken, and I know the residents of Stanway will be greatly benefited by the hard work of everyone.
These days of action take months to prepare and the huge effort paid off. Thank you.
