A GYMNASTICS club which needs to expand has been forced to put its plans on hold.

Colchester Gymnastics Club last week had its proposals for a new £350,000 extension approved by Colchester Council.

But the building work can no longer go ahead at its headquarters on Brinkley Grove Road because prices to build the new gym have skyrocketed.

It is a blow for the club, which has a growing waiting list of 1,200 children.
