Active travel fund 3

Essex County Council received £1.3M as part of the active travel fund 3 round of funding.

One of the key journeys identified in Colchester is an east-west route connecting the city centre to the University and Greenstead. Supporting travel into the city for residents, students, commuters and shoppers, this route will also ultimately connect to the new Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community.

Travelling along East Hill, before crossing into the Moors at East Bay and heading to Haddon Park, the Hythe and Greenstead Road, the route then crosses Colne Causeway, where it will head to the University through Greenstead or, in the future, onto the new Garden Community.
