Our Priorities

Colchester2020 has identified five priority areas which are central to its vision for Colchester to be a great place to live, work, study and visit.

These are:

• Promoting business, increasing employment opportunities and improving educational and skills attainment
• Reducing congestion, changing travel behaviour and improving the transport infrastructure
• Making Colchester an outstanding visitor destination and celebrating its heritage, culture and leisure activities
• Promoting healthy lifestyles, providing affordable housing and reducing homelessness
• Creating safer neighbourhoods and stronger, inclusive communities.

Each of these areas has a lead partner, and most have a sub group bringing together people from outside of the Partnership who have skills and experience to advise Colchester2020 on how to achieve the targets set out in its action plan.
