THE Minehead Community Defib Group has announced the installation of another potential lifesaving asset in Minehead.

The latest "Public Access Defibrillator" has been installed on the outside wall of Channel Training on the seafront at Minehead.

This has been purchased with generous donations from an anonymous person, the Tangent Ladies of Minehead and Minehead and District Lions Club and a generous donation from an anonymous person.

Chairman of the Minehead Community Defib Group, Richard Newton said: "We are delighted to install this defib at Channel Training and thank Jim and his team for working with us. This is the third defib that we have now installed.

"Previous installations are at the harbour in Minehead, the Jubilee Café on the seafront. All the defibs are accessible to the public.

"The charity is committed to installing further devices in and around Minehead, to their upkeep and ongoing maintenance, and to provide free training by way of workshops on the use of these wonderful devices."
