MARKED AS LIVE AGAIN SO CAN BE USED.

IMPORTANT.
The defib outside the Calley Memorial Hall was accessed over the weekend (We don't know if it was used yet). This means its marked as "Not available" to the ambulance service. Someone will be out as soon as possible to check on it and we will mark it "live" again if we can. Thanks.
