This may include about 10-15 individuals or groups. Committee membership will be determined by the Colchester Project Team, with feedback from SSG.
Implementation workshop
When: March 2021, specifics to be confirmed closer to the date
Where: Zoom

This zoom workshop will engage the community and stakeholders in identifying implementation considerations for each of the actions. The workshop will begin with a short presentation on the preferred future scenario for Colchester. Participants will then be divided into groups of three or four people (e.g. EVs, transportation, buildings, active transportation, etc.) to identify implementation considerations. They will then come back to the larger group to share their insights.
