Website launched for Colchester North proposals

Mersea Homes and Countryside Properties have launched a project website for their Colchester North proposals.  The website (www.colchesternorth.co.uk) provides background information about the site, the developers and the consultant team.  The website includes our emerging proposals and provides the chance for registered users to answer the same questionnaire as is available at consultation events.  The results of consultation events will also be available to view. 

Individuals are able to register through the website, which means they will be updated by e-mail as new items are added and will be able to submit comments and questions to the team.   Most importantly, registering on the website means that individuals will be able to take part in on-line consultation events.  

Stuart Cock, Managing Director of Mersea Homes commented "Keeping people informed of our proposals, and using on-line consultation methods will help us to keep make sure that as many people are possible can contribute to the discussion and learn about our proposals.  This scheme is an important part of Colchester's growth strategy, so it is important to us to make sure that information is available to help people understand what we are doing and why".

Steve Price, Senior Planning Manager at Countryside Properties commented "We understand that proposals such as ours can be controversial and of concern to people.  This website provides a way for people to check progress on our proposals, contribute to their design, and ask us about issues which are of interest to them.  We hope that people will use the website as a way of positively engaging to help shape the proposals".
