It is shameful that Essex county councillor Jeremy Lucas, the heritage and culture spokesman, refuses to allow the funds from the sale of the Colchester Archaeological Trust building to be used to protect the historic Colchester Roman circus.
This person recently supported squandering another £7million of public funds on the failed Visual Arts Facility, but refuses to support a fantastic visitor attraction.
We do not need the derelict £26million art gallery that is blocking our bus park.
We do need a Roman circus visitor centre but there is only six months before the opportunity is lost.
