Pam Cox’s ‘Warm Homes’ pitch—half Colchester’s rentals are cold traps. Labour’s hot air won’t heat ‘em up yet. (gazette-news.co/warm2024) @ColchesterLab
Roman Circus Centre’s toast by June—no council cash, no history. Colchester’s past gets binned for what? (bbc.in/circus2025) #Colchester
Colchester Hospital porters dumped by NHS for a private gig— @ColchesterLab's Pam Cox shrugs while privatization bites. Who’s next? #morelabourmisery
Holy Trinity’s £2.8m glow-up turns an old church into a hub. #Colchester’s past gets a future—nice one. (bbc.in/trinity2025)
Lion Walk’s full up—193k visitors in a week prove #Colchester’s not dead yet. High streets elsewhere? Not so lucky. (bbc.in/lionwalk2025)
Colchester’s 2.99% tax rise can’t save St Helena Hospice from a £2m hole—beds closing while wallets open. Where’s the cash going? (bbc.in/hospice2025)
Tiptree's Feb 20 by-election: 25.85% turnout—1 in 4 voted. Apathy or fatigue? Cost taxpayers £10k-15k for a quarter to participate. @yourcolchester @ColchesterLab @LD4Colchester @ColTories @TheGazette #ColchesterPolitics
@OTBC69 @pdundas26 @yourcolchester @Essex_CC It's not for me to say who would have taken control. My point was that Essex should have had a say in May 2025 about who they wanted to control ECC, not have our voting rights removed.
Tiptree’s Feb 20 by-election: @WillCalverleyUK (Con) wins with 1,089 votes, 25.85% turnout. Reform UK’s 567 votes strong; Lib Dems weak at 66. @yourcolchester @ColchesterLab @LD4Colchester @ColTories #ColchesterPolitics
Colchester's Tiptree by-election concluded on Feb 20th—community voices heard! Who's next to step up? Our councillors keep the city running. Possible by-elections upcoming in NTCT, Lexden, and Braiswick. @ColchesterLab @LD4Colchester @ColTories @TheGazette #ColchesterPolitics
@CllrDaveHarris, hopefully this will put a smile on your face next time you're in @TheGazette. You join #Colchester's 100% club—attended all 19 expected meetings in 12 months. Perfect record for Berechurch! @yourcolchester @ColchesterLab @TheGazette #ColchesterPolitics
Colchester Castle's Roman Family Tours run all week—40 minutes of history until Feb 28! Councillor Natalie Sommers keeps heritage alive. @yourcolchester @ColchesterLib @TheGazette #ColchesterPolitics
@tracy4stanway, a Stanway #Colchester Councillor, was elected to serve her ward. When was she last out in Stanway working for residents? @yourcolchester @TheGazette #ColchesterPolitics #StanwayWard
@pdundas26 @OTBC69 @yourcolchester I agree with you, @pdundas26. It would’ve been better to be asked if we wanted to continue the May elections rather than having them canceled, not postponed. This was our chance to hold @Essex_CC councillors accountable. Instead, we’re stuck with a Tory-led ECC until LGR.
Lexden and Braiswick's @LewisBarber94 attended just 33% of expected meetings in 12 months. @Sara4LB, as his fellow councillor, what's your take on this for ward representation? @yourcolchester @ColTories @GazetteNews #ColchesterPolitics
@MartinGossCol, Mile End Councillor and waste portfolio holder, leads by example with litter picks, always keeping Colchester clean. Great job! @yourcolchester @LD4Colchester @TheGazette #ColchesterPolitics #MileEndColchester
11,000 homes are planned for Colchester, but infrastructure is stretched. @Essex_CC (Tory-led) manages roads, facing funding delays. NHS appointments and school places are limited. What are your views? @yourcolchester #NHSColchester #ColchesterPolitics
Colchester Hospital's 38-bed gap could reach 140 in 10 years with 11,000 homes planned. @Sara4LB notes 98% capacity, 120% peaks. Pam Cox MP, what's your plan as MP? @yourcolchester @ColchesterLab @ColTories @TheGazette #ColchesterPolitics
Cox bangs on about NHS waitlists and high streets, but New Town Christ Church's potholes and ASB suggest her councillor role is neglected. MP first, ward second? Time for a by-election? @ColchesterLab @yourcolchester @TheGazette @Colchesterviews #ColchesterPolitics #byelection
@john_cope @CCACllrs @LGACons @WillCalverleyUK Congrats on the recent win!
