It is nothing to be proud of: “Colchester Outgrows Rest of UK”, printed in the Daily Gazette, September 2.

On the contrary, Colchester has become far too large, and we have had enough of continual building on every scrap of land here.

We have had no new road infrastructure over the last 40 years. They are chaotic.

So just how are we supposed to cope?

We do not want any more building here, it has got completely out of hand.

More building means more cars – it’s as simple as that.
