Welcome to Colchester’s new Northern Gateway
Colchester City Council has been inspired to create a place where local people and visitors alike can live, work, relax and shape happy, healthy lifestyles for themselves and their families.
This expansive space, which lies to the north and south of Junction 28 of the A12, is gradually transforming into a new sport, leisure, business and residential destination of regional significance. The opening in 2021 of the multi-million pound Colchester Sports Park, was a major step forward in turning our vision into a reality.
Colchester Leisure Park, part of the Northern Gateway development, is now open and welcoming visitors.
With world-class digital connectivity, easy access to the regional transport network, and high-quality urban design, the Northern Gateway will become a thriving location for living, playing, working and doing business.
