Tendring District Council (TDC) has renewed its commitment to current and former members of the military community by re-signing the Armed Forces Covenant.

The authority had previously signed up to the charter, but has now re-signed the latest version of the document.

Under the Armed Forces Covenant TDC commits to respect, support and honour members of the military community – including reservists, cadets, veterans and military families. It also commits to not disadvantaging this community and recognises that in some circumstances special consideration may be appropriate.
