MARKET traders want a street food quarter in Colchester.

Stalls selling food in the town centre are not grouped together and do not have permission to have tables and chairs.

Street food chefs want Colchester Council, which designates pitches, to turn Culver Street West into a food quarter.

Ken Flatt, who runs a curry stall, said: Ive been here for six years. Weve been on our own for a long time.

It would be better for all the food stalls to be together.

The key is to have variety having three burger stalls in a rowwould be bad for business.

Mr Flatt wants the council to allow stallholders to put out a small number of tables and chairs for customers.

Sue and Alex Forbes, who run the Free Ranger, a specialist burger and hot dog stand, said: The council should have us all together.
