Mr Cory praised the work being done by volunteers and NHS staff at the mass vaccination centre at Colchester United’s stadium after spending time volunteering himself. He said he remained confident the town would successfully recover from the pandemic once rates were low enough and the vaccine had reached the most vulnerable. He said: “I do think Colchester is ready to bounce back from this when things start to reopen again. “As a council we have been quick at distributing Government support to businesses. “We are planning to invest millions in the coming years and we are doing everything we can to see the borough through this.”
