A MAN banned from Colchester due to his frequent offending has written exclusively to the Gazette - promising to fight the order.

Kelvin Mathers, 31, is currently serving a prison term in Chelmsford jail.

He and brother, Ashley, 29, were banned from the entire borough of Colchester after clocking up 80 convictions between them.

In a frank letter, written from his prison cell, Kelvin apologised for his previous actions and said he wants quit the drink.

Excerpt from the letter:

"To Colchester Gazette,

"I am writing this because I am not happy about this injunction banning me from Colchester.

"I have done some bad things in life and I am sorry to some of the people.

"I have not got into any trouble when not drunk so I will have to get help - and I can do it."

Kelvin Mathers: Prisoner number A329OAY, HMP Chelmsford.
