DEFIBRILLATORS
Astley and Dunley Parish Council have provided three defibrillators which have been located around the Parish, hopefully covering the whole of the Parish geographically.
These devices are accessible 24 hours a day. A defibrillator is a portable machine that automatically sends an electric shock to the heart muscle to return it to its normal rhythm
IMPORTANT: In the event of an emergency dial 999 and ask for an ambulance before you do anything else. The operator will confirm the location of the nearest defibrillator and give you the number code to unlock the door of the defibrillator cabinet and access the equipment.
The locations are:
Ridleys Cross – In the old red Telephone Box.
Astley Burf – ln the old Telephone Box at the junction of Seedgreen Lane and Hampstall Lane.
Dunley – On the wall of the Dog Inn next to the car park.
For the latter location the Parish Council must extend sincere thanks to Tim Field for allowing us to site the unit on the wall of the Dog and for his kindness in further allowing us to connect the unit to the Dog’s electrical supply.

Welcome to my September newsletter.

We are deeply saddened to hear the news of the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
As the country’s longest reigning monarch, The Queen was part of the fabric of our nation. She dedicated her entire life to the country and to the Commonwealth, a role which she has performed with outstanding commitment and selfless devotion.
Our sorrow will be shared not only locally but throughout the world. Like communities across the globe, the people of Astley and Dunley will be united in remembering her with great affection and gratitude while reflecting on her extraordinary life.
Our thoughts and prayers are very much with the Royal Family at this extremely sad time.
The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime.
Our thoughts – and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom – are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time.
Astley & Dunley Parish Council
