LIFESAVING equipment has been installed across Worsbrough in a move local councillors hope will make the streets safer for all.
Four defibrillators have been installed in key areas including Maltas Court Sheltered Housing, Elm Court Housing, Worsbrough Village and Worsbrough Miners’ Welfare.
A fifth is due to be set up at Worsbrough Mill in the coming months.
Coun John Clarke said: “We have carefully chosen the areas for the defibrillators so that if an emergency does happen, help can be administered quickly.
“The old people’s homes were our first choices, and then we expanded to include the centre of the village and the miner’s welfare which get a lot of people passing through.
“They were paid for by the Worsbrough Ward Alliance and I am hopeful that they can save lives.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
