There was some sad news for us today when we heard that Basil Votier has died. Basil did a lot of unnoticed and unheralded work in the village and was always a very friendly and positive person (despite being a West Hamm supporter).
Basil will be particularly remembered at Hethersett Methodist Church for organising the cooking at regular breakfasts. I'm hoping to have a more detailed article on him for the next Hethersett Herald.

If you know of somebody who has gone that extra mile and been a hero during lockdown why not nominate them for a South Norfolk award?
South Norfolk Council is recognising and celebrating outstanding individuals who have gone above and beyond during the pandemic and have launched "COVID-19 Community Heroes."
The council is asking residents to put forward the stars of their community through its Facebook page and social media channels.
So come on Hethersett, let's get our community heroes recognised and thanked. Please let South Norfolk Council know through its Facebook page and social media channels using the hashtag #SouthNorfolkHeroes or on the webpage
