It is wonderful that we have the opportunity to express our appreciation face-to-face to many who are helping us through this crisis, not least those running our local shops and the volunteers co-ordinated by the Reepham Good Neighbour Scheme.

Another critical group are our refuse collectors. We suggest that those of us who are about when they make their weekly round should applaud them; they deserve it in any case, but particularly now.
