Stadler, Swiss
made rolling stock in service on branch line 20th March 2020
Dual Mode: Capable of
running on diesel or overhead electric.
Technically, they could operate direct from Sudbury into
Colchester North/Town
However, this would mean
pedestrians having to cross a live track in order to get to the Car
Park
Until this is resolved the servcie will continue to stop at Marks Tey.

A collection of historical and local information on the two parishes of
Bures St Mary and Bures Hamlet from the late 1800`s to 2016
Within the three parishes of Bures St Mary, Bures Hamlet and Mount Bures,
there are 116 Listed Buildings. I hope
you enjoy your visit, its aim is to view a selection of the finest buildings
and structures of historic interest within the two parishes.
Hopefully this site will enlighten those, especially new to the village
who may never have heard of the Tannery, Maltings, Cheese Factory, Gas
Works, Workhouse, Victory Hall etc

Public Hearing, commenced 6th October
Appeal Decision 27th November 2020
The Planning
Inspector has issued their decision:
The Appeal has
been dismissed & the Enforcement Notice to demolish 5&6
upheld.
All the concerns raised re the position, height & impact
of plots 5&6 have been validated by the Inspector.
The developer now has 9 months to demolish or get a new remediation
plan approved.
Clare Frewin,
White Horse House, Cuckoo Hill.
The Inspector
reports:
On the other side of the balance serious harm to the local
environment and residents’ living conditions continues.
The harms should be brought to an end as soon as reasonably
possible, which argues against doubling the length of the
compliance period.
