Retail giant House of Fraser is set to come to Colchester.
If all goes according to plan, Vineyard Street will be the location for the new big name department store.
Location - the car park in Vineyard Street, Colchester
Leading players in the proposals are remaining tight-lipped about sensitive negotiations between the retail giant, intermediaries and Colchester Council.
And senior figures warn if the people of Colchester do not want a department store in Vineyard Street, it will not happen.
The House of Fraser described Vineyard Street as an "incredibly attractive site" as a long-term prospect.
The department store sells a wide range of goods, including fashion, cosmetics and homewares.
