A SECOND public defibrillator has been installed in Leominster.

The life-saving device was put in place outside the town council's new office in Corn Square last Wednesday.

Councillor Clive Thomas applied for a grant from the British Heart Foundation to fund the device and was successful, although he was still required to find £400 to support the grant which was donated by a local resident.

Leominster Town Council paid for the cabinet and Jon Miles, of Apex Electrical, installed the device.

It will ensure visitors to the town centre have easy access to a defibrillator, with another already in place outside the Co-operative store.
