The phone box in Bishopstone village is the parish council information kiosk and importantly, it houses a defibrillator. Very much in need of sprucing up, Councillors Rosemary Morgan and Sarah Keefe removed the flaking paint and applied a coat of Post Office red paint.
The defibrillator can make all the difference between life and death for someone suffering a heart attack as you wait for an ambulance to arrive. This portable device gives a casualty’s heart an electric shock, when it has stopped beating normally in a sudden cardiac arrest.
