Note: Due to possible options being identified which had not previously been considered or discussed around the siting and provision of a second defibrillator, it was proposed by Cllrs Clayton and Hewitt, in accordance with Standing Order 11.1 that, in light of these alternative options, a decision be made as to whether to proceed as planned or whether to further explore these alternatives. (Min 14, 24.5.24 refers)
Following discussion around options, namely, siting on resident’s property; providing an insulated cabinet without electrical supply; proceeding with the non-metered connection as previously resolved, no proposal was made to change the previous decision.
It was proposed by Cllr Hewitt, seconded by Cllr Colam-French and:-
RESOLVED – (a) That it be noted that checking of the defibrillators would be carried out by Mrs S Baxter, as currently, at JJ’s Café and by Cllr Masters at the second site on Manor Road, with Cllr Colam-French as back up; and
(b) that authority be delegated to the Clerk, in consultation with the Chairman, to arrange an appropriate electricity supplier at the best possible contract price to be paid by direct debit.
