Llanrug Community Council are pleased to announce that they have been able to provide another defibrillator for the community. This is the ninth in the area, and it is in Pontrug, located by the junction where you turn left to Caernarfon and to the right to Llanrug from Caeathro.

Please see Councillor Berwyn Parry Jones (Gwynedd Council) and Councillor Rhys Parry (Chair of Llanrug Community Council) with the defibrillator.

Councillor Rhys Parry said “I am extremely happy that a defibrillator has been located in the area after the council identified a need for another, especially in this area of the community. Certainly, we as a council recognise the importance of this device in an emergency. Every second counts in such an emergency. Training on how to use the defibrillator will be held soon for community residents. It is hoped that that this will provide the necessary information and confidence to use such a device if required. I would like to thank all Community Councillors for their work in deciding on a suitable location for the device, and Gwynedd Council for the permission and the quick and tidy work in fixing the device. As the Chair of Llanrug Community Council, I see the impact such an activity has on the community. I would like to invite anyone in the community to join us as a community councillor to serve the community which is dear to so many of you as it is to me.
