@jasonwiggins @arrivaessex Probably to do with the bike race. Cyclists don't get there until 3pm. So bus will probably be 10am tomorrow 🤦🙄

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

Exactly the local area this is referring to have managed access 🤡

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

Rise London bike race will be finishing on East hill at 3pm today. However at 7am, all of the access for residents has been blocked. Despite making plans to park elsewhere this afternoon after picking up my daughter and walk home. We had no idea we wouldn't be able at 7am.

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

All I can say is that those people in high visibility jackets, genuinely don't know their arse from their elbow. I'm not sure they could even ride a bike themselves. Great job 👍

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

It's only fair to update and say that just now one of the senior members of staff has now apologised and said it was a mistake on their part. We do now have access (2 hrs later). Luckily however we did manually get out earlier to get to school/work on time 👍

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

Offices opposite residential houses have barriers open for access. #RideLondon

@Essex_CC @RideLondon @UttlesfordDC @yourcolchester @ActiveEssex Great job in blocking residents on East Hill from taking children to school and getting to work 8 hours before the bikes actually use it. The road is still in use, but metal barricades are blocking residents - yet business offices opposite had barriers undone for access 🤔

@FrankySwan8 @yourcolchester That's a good shout. Get @toploaderuk in @BullColchester 🤟😂

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

Wow. That was unexpected #Colchester @sausageandcider! Only a few hours before it begins. Equipment failure? 😯

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

Can anyone provide me with a list of military regiments based in Colchester over the last 30 years please? Can't seem to find a modern list anywhere. Only Napoleonic/Victorian/WW1&2. CC: @EssexReg

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

@MartinGossCol @OTBC69 @barringtontv @LoobyColchester However a separate article to accompany the individual claims would highlight how this is a significant issue which must be addressed? Although I don't doubt you will know best how to play this one anyway, so no worries!

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

@Colchesterviews @dariusglaws @LScordis I see @dariusglaws has mastered that weird thing which all politicians appear to do with their hands. Never understood the reasoning behind that! 🤔🤷‍♂️ I'm still struggling with avoiding to add "umm.." in between every sentence 😂🤦‍♂️

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

That was an unexpected result from a quick search for "Colchester" 😶. Hopefully will be moderated swiftly. Most shocking part is that they're probably quicker than @Dominos_UK delivery times too 😬😂

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

@Colchesterviews @yourcolchester They've spent so much time bitching about one another, that they've forgotten to actually promote the reasons we should vote for them.

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

And you thought the potholes in Colchester were bad 😬

[Colchester Insight @ColchInsight]

🤔 So, let me get this straight. There are a handful of people protesting for unrelated topics simultaneously, in the rain? 🤨 I mean, if that's the case then I'm certainly thinking 'WTF?!' right now 😕 But at the same time, provided they didn't...

♻️🛢️Glue themselves to the road.
📚🔥Burn or rewrite books.
⚧️🏳️‍⚧️Label any disagreers as fascist.

Then go for it!🤷‍♂️ That's the ideal way to use freedom of expression, right?

Although I will just throw it out there: If you do accidentally spill a tin of soup over the 'Walking Woman' statue on the High Street, I won't dob you in 🥫🗿🤐🤣
