Councillors David and Bill have relocated the defibrillator into the former phone box which the Parish Council have purchased.

The defibrillator was previously located in a narrow alleyway which was not very visible to those who were not aware of its existence.

Alternative locations were considered, but the costs of providing an electricity supply to maintain its charge were prohibitive. When BT agreed to transfer ownership of the phone box to the council, they agreed to continue to allow the use of the electricity supply at no cost. There should be a light in the kiosk in case access is needed at night.

Instructions detailed on the defibrillator housing explain access as being available by calling 999.
