We, the undersigned, demand that Colchester Council confirm and agree that it will not use any legal powers available to them to override or extinguish Essex County Council’s restrictive covenant on the site off of Queen Street to allow Alumno to build. We say no to the Alumno development plans!

The demands come after Colchester Council failed to say that they would not use extraordinary powers to appropriate the land and override Essex County Council’s restrictive covenant on the site Alumno want to build on. The restrictive covenant is now the last line of defence against the unpopular proposals.
