Feeling Frustrated
The ideal location for Colchester much awaited Park and Ride scheme is not in green belt Langham, nor in green belt Eight Ash Green, nor as shared land at the new football stadium. It is and always has been on the brown field land in Stanway known as Staines Park, where money has been clearly laid out by the owner in an attempt to stop a Park and Ride from happening. Well, it hasn't worked because that land can still be used for such a scheme. As a result of this blocking manoeuvre, that land is now served by an excellent road system that currently leads knowhere. It is next to the A12 and it would not be a nuisance to its neighbours like the other schemes would have been. Sadly though, the owner of the land in question has friends at the Town Hall who, as is their well established custom, puts the interests of the developer in front of those of the community. The whole thing stinks!
