Council Reports with guidance contained in the Government’s publication “Gear Change”, published by the Department of Transport in July 2020. I have already objected to this scheme, but have had no reply. I wonder if perhaps Essex County Council are proposing this scheme as part of their North/South cycleway? There will two walks coming up in the next months, which are specifically for Mylanders. The first, will be one of the annual festival of Jane’s Walks. It is a walk (and talk) around our former and current care homes and hospitals, starting at the site of the now demolished Essex Hall, (the Eastern Counties Asylum for ‘Idiots, Imbeciles and the Feebleminded’), and visiting Turner Village and the site of Severalls Hospital. This walk will be on Wednesday 10th May starting at 6:30pm and Jane’s Walks will be taking place all over Colchester from 6th May to the 14th May – find out more: CLICK HERE The second is the Midsummer Day Walk around the boundaries of Myland on Saturday 24th June, starting at Myland Parish Halls at 10am. It will be great to do this 6.5 mile walk in the middle of summer and to see the many aspects of our beautiful parish. In other news, we are still pursuing Essex County Council on their enforced deletion of part of three separate public footpaths, and not providing a walkable alternate route for their temporary closure of three other public footpaths. We will also being getting on with our survey of Public Rights of Way, which we do in collaboration with Colchester Ramblers. We all hope that you manage to get out and about this summer and hopefully enjoy the weather! Robert Johnstone Chair, Myland Access Group 10
