Ratton Councillors Secure New Defibrillator for Rodmill
Ratton Councillors Nick Ansell, David Small and Colin Belsey have secured the installation of a community defibrillator by the Framfield Way Shops, which had its official opening on October 7th.
Funded by the Councillors devolved budget, the install was made possible with the help of local electricians GM Monk, Anns Flowers and Beans & Buds Coffee Bar, where the defibrillator is located.
Steve Monk of GM Monk said ‘I was delighted to help out with the electrical work on this project. You always hope that these life saving pieces of equipment never need to be used, but it's reassuring to know it's there if needed.’
The installation of the defibrillator is part of a broader effort to enhance the Framfield Way shopping area. Anns Flowers owner Danielle Springate added ‘With the help of our local councillors we are trying to make the Framfield Way shopping area much more customer friendly. The flower baskets and recently restored railings have really smartened up the parade’
Colin Belsey, who spoke on behalf of the three councillors said ‘We are delighted to get this in place. Josh Grove who originally ran the Post Office set the ball rolling some two years back and I know he would be so pleased to see it up. With the help of First Responders and our devolved budget money it is now in place. On our behalf I would like to thank all the community for their support in helping us improve Framfield Way.’
