Visitors to a Peterborough can feel safer – after a new life saving defibrillator was installed.

The Friends of Itter Park have confirmed that the device is now up and running, ready to help in case of an emergency.

A spokesperson for the Friends said: “Located conveniently at Itter Park. It can be found on the end wall of the Bowls Pavillion, with the nearest access point being the footpath off Fulbridge Road. The defibrillator is accessible to everyone and could make all the difference when every second counts.

“This has only been possible through our fund raising activity throughout the year, particularly our Easter and Summer fun days and our monthly car boot sales between April and September. Please continue to support so we can keep investing in the park.

“A big thanks to The Community Heartbeat Trust for all their support, a great organisation that has enabled over 8,000 defibrillators in local communities.

“Knowing where to find your nearest defibrillator could save a life.”
