The Gazette's Community Stadium Now! campaign has won the overwhelming support of Colchester councillors.

Members of all three main political parties have supported a motion backing our bid to get the facility built at Cuckoo Farm.

More than 13,000 people have so far signed our Community Stadium Now! petition.
