A spokesperson for Turkingtons said: “We want to make you aware of the defibrillator at James Park! We have installed a defibrillator which will be available 24/7 at our gatehouse for the local community.

"The defibrillator is an automatic version, therefore you do not need trained to operate it, you simply need to follow the instructions. While we hope it never has to be used, it gives everyone peace of mind knowing there is one in the local community.

"Having a defibrillator on hand when someone suffers a sudden cardiac event can quite simply be the difference between life & death, giving them a far better chance at survival.”
