British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme (BCSSS) Letter to James Murray MP
As some of you may have seen, following the cabinet reshuffle, James Murray MP has now been made the Chief Secretary to the Treasury. I have met James on several occasions, one of which was when he paid a visit to Snibston Colliery just a few months ago where he met with BCSSS members, and I look forward to having further discussions with him about the BCSSS funds.

Following my meeting with the Director of Environment and Transport at Leicestershire County Council on Wednesday 30th July, I am frustrated that feedback from both myself and residents has not been taken on board regarding the changes to bus services being brought forward by Arriva.

After a meeting at Snibston Colliery Park, I noticed their defib on the outside of Grounds Cafe was not registered on the National Database, The Circuit.
This is one of the reasons I'm running the Defib Dash campaign; not all of these life-saving pieces of equipment are registered, so in the case of an emergency, the 999 call handler wouldn't know this defib was located onsite. I'm in the process of finding out who the defib's guardian is to see if we can get it registered.
It's amazing that there is a public-access defib available for use in life-threatening situations. We just need to make sure it's known and ready for use, especially in such a public location.
Don't forget to 'Dash' to your nearest Defib if you haven't already this week!

A huge thank you to Kerrie from Vitalize Health & First Aid Training for giving up her time yesterday to take some of the students at Ashby School through a CPR and Defib workshop to help raise awareness and confidence of what to do in a life-threatening situation.
As a member of the APPG for defibs I feel so passionately about ensuring as many people as possible feel comfortable performing CPR and know where their local defib is. It really could make the difference between life and death for someone.
Don't forget to 'Dash' to your nearest Defib this week if you haven't already to help us identify where all our local defibs are and where our deserts of coverage are. I know that not every defib is registered on The Circuit so your local knowledge is vital in helping us identify these.
