Paddleboarder saves items from River Colne

Sonia Watson

Available for over a year

Superheroes do exist, and it seems they paddleboard along the River Colne in Colchester! Sue Hyett likes to feed the swans and clear any rubbish out of the waterway - but she's also been incredibly helpful to people when they've dropped things in the water, such as a set of keys or a load of Christmas gifts, all of which happened in the last few days. BBC Essex speaks to Sue, as well as Martin Camroux, who dropped his Christmas presents in the water and benefitted from Sue's help.
