12.  Notice of Motion proposed by Councillor Kennedy, seconded by Councillor Stirling (Deferred from 250128 CP&R Committee Meeting)  

I call upon this Council to create a funding pot for Community Groups who are Guardians of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in our borough.  Community Groups are finding it increasingly difficult to replace and maintain the equipment. This initiative is designed to  address the risk of a defibrillator being out of use due to pads having been used and not replaced due to community groups not having adequate funding to replace the pads. Our communities must be equipped to respond to emergencies swiftly and effectively.  When it comes to life, every second counts. This funding will  undoubtedly save lives.           

FOR CONFIDENTIAL CONSIDERATION (Items 13 - 16 inclusive)
