RESIDENTS are being given the chance to have their say on the future of a major part of Stanway.

Plans for the area, drawn up by Colchester Council and businesses, will go on show on Thursday.

New residential and commercial developments will be the focus of the proposals.

The drawings will go on show at Victory Hall, on Villa Road, Stanway, from 3pm to 8pm on Thursday.

Tim Young, councillor responsible for planning, said: "This is a great opportunity to help shape future development of an area of Colchester that is important for residents across the borough."
