More than 1,000 new jobs and public access to top sporting facilities will be part of the Colchester Garrison redevelopment.

Revised plans for the multi-million pound development are set to be handed over to Colchester Council today.

Consultations on the plans will be held in October and November.

If successful, planning permission should be granted early next year.

Colchester MP Bob Russell said the influx of construction workers from outside the town would greatly benefit Colchester's economy.
