Mylander - Issue 86

Council Reports As part of this project I have also been finding out who in the local area already has a Community Defibrillator in place and to the best of my knowledge they are currently situated at these locations: • McDonald’s, Colchester A12 Stadium, Junction 28, Colchester CO4 5HH • Colchester Rugby club, Mill Road Playing Fields, Mill Road CO4 5JF • New Braiswick Community Room, 6 Apprentice drive CO4 5UQ • East of England Co-op store, Nayland Road, CO4 5EQ • in a recycled phone box at the Mill Road end of Turner Road There are also many sites that have defibrillators inside their buildings, but they are not available 24 hours a day and are not for community use as the ones we have purchased will be. However, they will obviously be available along with First Aiders if you are on these sites and one of these sites is inside the local Asda store. The long-term plan for the Colchester Community First Responders is that all members of the public will be within three minutes walk of an AED to try to save as many lives as possible. In the next issue I hope I will be able to confirm that these four units are in place and that the next four locations have been found and agreed and the units are ready to be approved by full Council and are ready to be ordered.
