A POSTER promising a “better town centre” has caused uproar after appearing in the empty shell of failed shop, Jacks.

The Colchester Council flyer, which promotes the car ban, promises the town will be “a better place to shop and enjoy”.

But it has been slammed as insensitive for being displayed in the window of a recently closed business.

Jacks Famous Supplies, St Nicholas Street, shut on February 2, after a year long battle against falling trade and online competition.

Full reaction in this week's Essex County Standard.
