MIKE HEDGES AM URGES
PEOPLE TO RESPECT COMMUNUITY LIFE SAVING EQUIPMENT
Speaking after the recent incident where life saving equipment
located in a Bonymaen Park in memory of a local player who died after a match
was stolen, Local Assembly Member Mike Hedges AM said… this is a terrible
situation for the local community; this equipment is there to save lives and
was located here in memory of a lad who died following a heart attack during a
game. The local community worked with Cariad to locate a defibrillator in this
location because of its special significance. It is simply awful that this
piece of life saving equipment has been stolen. I would urge people to respect
this type of equipment – I know that there are similar defibrillators in places
such as Birchgrove RFC and I hope that this is not the start of a trends where
these get targeted by vandals. If anyone knows anything about this incident I
would urge them to contact the local police.
Note
A defibrillator placed at
Bonymaen Park in Swansea in memory of local footballer Mitchell Joseph has been
stolen.
The cabinet it was in has been
damaged too.
Defib charity Cariad is urging
anyone with information to contact its team.
Mitchell , a full-back with St
Joseph’s AFC collapsed during a match and later died at Morriston Hospital.
