Colchester2020's vision for the future is of a Colchester which is:

• Excelling as a regional centre
• Working for sustainable growth and reducing carbon emissions
• Providing opportunities for everyone to lead healthy lives and achieve their full potential
• A great place to live, work, study and visit.

To achieve this vision, we have identified five priorities:

• 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.

Further detail about the Colchester2020 vision and priorities is set out in our Sustainable Community Strategy.
