DRIVE, determination and care. Three words that leap to mind when describing Colchester Council executive director Pam Donnelly, who has been put forward for recognition as one of the Gazette’s Community Champions. Pam also holds a post on the north Essex NHS board and chairs One Colchester - a strategic and operational group that brings together key partners, to try and keep residents safe and well. Council leader Mark Cory was one of those to put her forward for praise. He said: “She’s an amazing leader and team builder. “Due to her drive, determination and care, she has built up a superbly strong team of blue light services, borough, county and voluntary sector partners, to act together as one, breaking down barriers and delivering solutions for our residents.
