Have your say on the Draft Master Plan
for the Hythe
Have just been in to the East Colchester Regeneration Office on Hythe Quay to view the council's plans for the regeneration of King Edward Quay and Haven Road. It's well-presented and the staff are are very willing to explain things further. You get the opportunity to give your views in a questionnaire. It's worth a visit and it's on until 22 July 2006. Also at the Central Library in town, and a few other locations.

It's great to see that the Hythe is in the process of being made accessible and usable to more people. Does this mean however that existing users will have to move? Judging by the artist's impressions of the new development there won't be any space (in physical and social terms) for the current dwellers of the Hythe.
It looks as though the green-eyed 'monster of gentrification' is about to creep in once again. It will take over, displacing everyone local to the area in the process.
Why can't the town and its planners find an inclusive way of developing? The Hythe will be a better place for it!
