Generous shoppers in Malmesbury have helped raise money to pay for a defibrillator for Sherston Parish Council.

They donated nearly £300 to a collection by the British Heart Foundation outside the Co-op this month. It followed a meeting at the town hall to launch the 50th anniversary of the charity.

The BHF’s Suzie Power said: “We’d like to thank everyone for their support, we really appreciate it.”
