Colchester Council has vowed to step up efforts to tackle inequality in the borough.
Cllr Mark Cory, Leader of Colchester Borough Council, said: “The pandemic has shone a light on deprivation and health inequalities in the UK that together have conspired to make some communities far more susceptible to this terrible virus.
“Coronavirus has made tackling deprivation an ongoing challenge in our own borough, but it is one that we can overcome with the support of One Colchester and others.
“The more unequal a society is, the more we all suffer. These inequalities are becoming more and more deep-rooted and we need to tackle them at the cause. This council agreed, cross-party, that we must be bold and tackle this worsening problem. The Motion affirms our commitment to work with our partners to support the most vulnerable members of our community and tackle the causes of inequality.”
