Chandos Square Phone box in Broadstairs to get a new lick of paint…and a defibrillator!

A red phone box in Chandos Square, Broadstairs is getting more than a lick of paint. The Chandos Square Phone Box is looking a little tired, but as well as the usual repairs it will also be getting a defibrillator.

The Town Council will be paying for materials and the Harbour and Seafront group have volunteered their services to undertake the repairs and painting of the Chandos Square Phone Box.

The Town Council would like to thank both the Harbour and Seafront Group and Tesco’s, who undertake the daily checks and care of the defibrillator, for their continued support with this project. The Town Council has now also adopted the Chandos Square red phone box, this will be an additional defibrillator location, and will again be supported by the staff from Tesco’s, where there is already a defibrillator.

Dr Mike Dadd, South East Coast Ambulance Service British Heart Foundation Healthcare Practitioner is advising us on the purchase of the new defibrillator.
