Culver Street & Head Street Bollards
We also manage the Culver Street and Head Street bollards. These are short posts preventing traffic from entering a road. These roads will be closed when the bollards are up. These are the times at which we put them up:
On Mondays – Thursdays the bollards will go up at 11:00am and we will put them down at 4:00pm.
On Fridays – Saturdays the bollards will go up at 10:00am and we will put them down at 5:00pm.
If you need to report a problem with the bollards then contact the Community Zone Team for the Town Centre on 07833 925492, or you can email customerservice@colchester.gov.uk
