Greenstead residents asked to raise neighbourhood issues

RESIDENTS of a Colchester estate are being asked what they want to see improved in their area.

A Community Day of Action is planned for Greenstead on Monday April 15.

The event will see council, police, probation and a number of other teams hit the estate in a bid to spruce it up and clamp down on wrong-doers.

To help them target the right issues members of the Safer Colchester Partnership are knocking on doors today and tomorrow to find out what needs to be done.

Alternatively people can fill in an online questionnaire.

  • For more information contact Sonia Carr on 01206 282978 / 507836 or email sonia.carr@colchester.gov.uk.

Rather a large, green, spacious estate than the rabbit warrens that are all new "developments" (might I add with mandatory affordable housing, containing the once were council tenants who couldn't / can't afford to buy)

All the right to buy tenants will be laughing their way to the bank in a few years when the popularity of an ex council estate soars!!!

it would be nice to see people paying there way correctly instead of de frauding the system selling numerous pushbikes from there front gardens on avon way makes the place look untidy and are they tax registered as they seem to sell lots of push bikes.

Not all of the properties on Avon Way are in Greenstead Estate. The mock georrgian properties are in Avondale, so if the cycles are being sold from an Avondale property then nothing can be done as the make a difference day does not apply.

the push bikes are in avon way near to avon way house and behind the bus shelter on avon way at the bottom of hawthorn avenue going towards tescos.
there are many sold to the students and this is a regular turn around of stock with the sales it must have exceeded £2000+ tax free as all the students are riding these push bikes daily on avon way just saying thats all

I have just had a piece of paper through the door about the action day. The Gazette has got it wrong. the action day is for all of St Andrews ward not just Greenstead.
