Cllr Beverley Oxford, Colchester Borough Council Portfolio Holder for Communities, said: “I’m pleased to be launching the autumn programme of Wellness Walks at High Woods Country Park. They are a great way of staying fit and encouraging a better mental well-being by bringing people together. The walks complement our work with Street Tag helping to get more people moving and enjoying the benefits of staying active outside. I encourage anyone to come along and join a walk.”
