The tree outside 114 Mile End Road was vandalised some months ago. We are pleased to say that the tree has now been replaced.
This was kindly funded by Myland Community Council as part of their “greening the parish” initiative.
Vandalism of any kind is totally unacceptable but we are pleased this tree is now replaced.
Phil Coleman, David King and Martin Goss each get £2000 to spend on projects in Mile End. In previous years we have funded tree planting, new benches and also purchased play equipment for the local Primary Schools in our area.

Fords Lane Playground Consultation
Colchester residents are being encouraged to take part in a consultation to help choose the design for a new playground facility to be installed off Fords Lane in Mile End.
We are carrying out the refurbishment of the children’s playground and want local residents to choose the final design.
The existing playground will be replaced with new challenging play equipment which provides an exciting play experience for the local community along with new safety surface and seating.
We are now asking local residents to vote for which design they like best from a shortlist of four different companies.
Please visit www.colchester.gov.uk/fordslane to vote.
The project is funded by Section 106 money (contributions requested from major developers towards community facilities). The consultation will close on Monday 19 September 2016.
The results will be announced during October 2016
Mile End Community Funding
Over 400 people voted on how they wanted us to spend the £4000 community funding in Mile end. The money was split on 3 projects based on how you voted.
1. £2000 will be spent on new tree planting in Mile End.
2. £1500 will be spent on new playground equipment which will be used on the Mile End Playing fields area off Fords Lane.
3. £500 was awarded for new sports equipment for Queen Boudica School and Braiswick Academy School. Each school received £250.
Myland School didn’t manage to reply by the deadline, so we have offered them a contribution from our own pockets if they can come up with what Sports equipment they wish to purchase.
