We reported this flytipped metal tubing found along Public Footpath 53 just off Cowdray Avenue, to #Colchester Council.

They collected it.

Sorted.

Easy-peasy.

The giant utility box at the bottom of Bergholt Road is no longer sporting a graffiti tag after we reported it and the North Neighbourhood team got it sorted.

Thanks guys!

It wasn't the worst bit of graffiti in Colchester but every bit cleared helps.

The more graffiti, litter, fly posting & fly tipping folk report, the more gets sorted.

This minor 'tagging' in Station Way wasn't by any means the worst graffiti bin #Colchester - but it was sorted within a couple of days of us reporting it.

We'd like to say a big thank you to the folk @EssexHighways.

The long, long, missing rail from the barrier on East Hill obviously wasn't the biggest of issue in #Colchester let alone #Essex.

But hey. It's now sorted...

Less than 24 hours after we reported two graffiti tagged utility boxes in Trinity Square, the City Centre Neighbourhood Team @YourColchester had it sorted.

That's two less bits of graffiti blighting the ancient streets of #Colchester.

Thanks folks.

#SeenReportedSorted @EssexHighways have now replaced three damaged sections of railings on Cymbeline Way at the Junction with Westway.

The unsightly 'temporary' plastic barriers that had been in situ for around 3 years haven't gone yet though. They're stacked on the pavement.

The 'temporary' plastic barriers that have long been a feature under North Station Bridge, have at last, been replaced by permanent metal guardrails by the folk @EssexHighways.

For the past few years there's been a damaged street lighting column outside the Victoria Inn on North Station Road.

We recently chased the lack of progress with Essex Highways and it has now been removed entirely.

For some years now there's been a steel lamppost outside 9 North Hill that was noticeably leaning backwards.

It's taken a long, long time, but we're delighted that @EssexHighways have now sorted it and the post is now vertical.
