The Council has taken delivery of 12 defibrillators, which will be installed this week. The equipment was purchased with funding from our County Councillors: Cllr Caroline Ball, Cllr Brian Gallacher, Cllr Lynne Grimshaw, Cllr Ken Parry and Cllr Mark Purvis.
County Cllrs were delighted to be part of this project and are reassured that the town will have greater coverage in the event of anyone having a cardiac arrest. The hope is that there will be many more defibrillators available when they are installed in schools, following the Government’s pledge that all schools will have at least one defibrillator by the end of the 2023 school year.
