Councillor Mark Heard said everyone is 'suffering' at the moment but the council continue to work to support the district.

The chairman of Maldon District Council is looking back on some positive stories over the past few months despite the turmoil of the pandemic. Councillor Mark Heard wrote: "Amid all the turmoil reported with COVID19, Tier 4 restrictions, flooding, Brexit, and rumours over food shortages etc, it could be very easy to form a negative view of life these days.
