Here we go again! The gazette is using the Essex police crime map that shows Greenstead as being the whole eastern side of Colchester. Longridge Park, Avondale, Parsons Heath, Welshwood Park, Harwich Road etc are not shown even though some of the crimes were actually committed in those areas!

I can count 16 burglaries within the boundaries of what is known as Greenstead. 8 of those appear to be the same property or very, very close and 1 is actually on the roundabout!

To be honest, the place to avoid looks to be Culver Street West. 28 crimes, almost one a day!!

culver street west none of those 28 are actually burglaries.

Lets face it the whole of colchester has its rough spots but white city and greenstead and pretty much most the surrounding areas are kinda the worst now :/
