THREE new defibrillator units have been installed in South Gloucestershire.

The Parish Council for Westerleigh & Coalpit Heath has had three brand new life-saving defibrillators installed at Westerleigh Village Hall, the Miners Club on Badminton Road and at Henfield Hall on Ram Hill.

The defib units have been funded by money received by the council from the Blackberry Park development

A spokesperson for the Parish Council said: "We hope they will really add to the way a person in trouble can be helped alongside CPR while an ambulance is on the way.

"The units are important for people attending events at these venues or playing sport nearby in one of the playing fields or fishing at Bitterwell Lake next to Henfield Hall".

The Parish Council is also committed to running training events at each venue to give confidence in providing CPR or using the defibrillators, as soon as practical.
