Defibrillator scheme: Phase One well underway

We recently completed the first stage of our project to have defibrillators installed across the Blackhall division.

We have completed the applications for funding from the Neighbourhood Budget and these have been submitted to the Area Action Partnership (AAP) Funding Team for their assessment.

The initial stage of our project includes installing defibrillators in Blackhall Colliery and Castle Eden. We intend to consult with residents in the other villages in our ward during the next financial year (which begins next month) to see if they would like to have defibrillators in their communities and then, if they do, agree on a suitable location.

We are always keen to hear your views on local matters so if you have any ideas on where defibrillators would be useful please let us know.
