Colchester at a glance
Colchester is a city in Essex, in the East of England region of England. It sits at about 51.889° N, 0.904° E, roughly 29 metres above sea level, and the nearest postcode district is CO1 (Colchester).
Colchester has a recorded population of around 130,245. Of the places in Essex with a recorded population, it ranks 2nd. That is a sizeable customer base on your doorstep, plus everyone who travels in to shop, work and use local services.
The nearest town is Wivenhoe, 3.3 miles south-east of Colchester. The nearest large town or city is Ipswich, 15.9 miles north-east. Closer to home you will find West Bergholt (2.8 miles north-west), Rowhedge (2.8 miles south-east), Wivenhoe (3.3 miles south-east) and Eight Ash Green (3.5 miles west). There are 164 named places within ten miles of Colchester, which is why a good local site mentions more than one place name.
Essex is part of the East of England, a region of big skies, farmland, the Fens, the Norfolk Broads and the Suffolk and Essex coast.
Why local businesses need a local website in Colchester
Nearly everyone searching for a trusted local trader start on their phone with a quick search. If your details are wrong or missing, the next business gets the call.
A good local site tells people which services you offer, where you work and how to book you. That is exactly what Savvy Saver does for Essex businesses, and then we keep it working month after month.
