'Change We See' in Colchester

Colchester’s Labour Candidate, Jordan Newell, has used Labours new "Change We See" campaign to highlight the Government's achievements since 1997. Colchester has benefited greatly from Government investment over the past twelve years.

The investment in Colchester General Hospital, the building of a new Primary Care Centre, the development of local Sure Start centres across the town, the rebuilding of our schools and the newly built Colchester Garrison, are all prime examples of just how much has been invested in Colchester since Labour came to power.

One of the most striking examples of investment in eduation is the new buildings at Colchester Sixth Form College. An impressive facility that now dominates Balkerne Hill, with modern facilities replacing porta-cabins.

"Maybe I appreciate this sight more, not because I know it was achieved through Labour investment, but because I was a student there in the days when we were taught in porta-cabins on the exact same site", Jordan Newell said.

Anyone who believes the Government is failing to give support to our armed forces should pay a visit to Colchester Garrison.

The newly redeveloped garrison site has seen an investment of over £500 million and has provided our soldiers with a twenty-first century place to live and work offering state-of-the-art facilities for training, medical care and sport.

Since being elected in 1997, the Labour Government has changed Britain and rebuilt the lives of children, older people and families through investment in schools, hospitals and other public services. Now we face an opposition who wants to undo the achievements we have made - to deny the huge successes and cut the public services we rescued.
