This will provide greater coverage within the parish in case any incidents occur that may need this vital lifesaving equipment.

It will also be open to those that have already received training but would like a refresher course.

The Parish Council would like to thank Paul and Sam Buckingham, the managers of The Cabin, for agreeing to the installation of the defibrillator, and also Carl Smith of Middleton Camera Club for taking the pictures.
