Please help to spread the word amongst your village contacts that the eXbox defibrillator (the one in the old phone box in Middle Chedworth) is currently out of service. There is a fault with the electrical feed to the cabinet, which means the heater that keeps the pads warm is not working.

Although it’s mild at the moment, we can’t risk someone using that defibrillator in an emergency, and it failing to work because the pads are cold.

It has been removed it from the cabinet and SWAST notified , which should prevent them from sending anyone to the eXbox in an emergency.

An electrician will be organised to visit.
