Highworth’s Barra Close now has a 24-hour public-access defibrillator, paid for by funds from the Lions Charity shop and installed with the help of the town council.

The unit is registered with the South Western Ambulance Service — in an emergency, callers to 999 will be directed to it and given the access code.

We hope it is never needed. But if it is, it could save a life within minutes.
