A PETITION calling for sports facilities to be reinstated has already attracted hundreds of signatures.


The petition was launched after the Colchester United Community Sports Trust collapsed.


Colchester councillors Dave Harris and Julie Young are leading calls for the facilities and activities run by the trust to be continued.


The two campaigners want Colchester Council to lead and direct a recovery package.

Anyone wanting to get a copy of the petition form, should contact Dave Harris on 0781616 8858.
