Harmer Hill Defibrillator
Harmer Hill now has a defibrillator. It is positioned on the side of the village hall. It can be used in need without any training but once restrictions ease there are likely to be training or familiarity sessions available for anyone interested. Many thanks to Cathy Cooke for organising and, with others raising the funds. Thanks Erica Martin
