New Solar-Powered Defibrillator Installed at Park Lane
Published: September 15, 2026
Tutbury Parish Council is pleased to announce the installation of a new defibrillator at the Park Lane bus shelter.
The Council received a grant from the Duchy of Lancaster’s Benevolent Fund, which has funded the new equipment. The defibrillator replaces the previous unit located at Park Lane Stores, which was decommissioned some time ago.
The new cabinet has been designed to operate using solar panels and a wind turbine, providing power to help regulate the temperature inside the unit. If the temperature falls below freezing, a heater automatically switches on to protect the defibrillator pads and equipment inside the cabinet. The renewable power system also provides lighting inside the cabinet, helping to make the defibrillator easier to locate and access during hours of darkness.
The new location will provide residents in the upper part of the village with improved access to this important lifesaving equipment.
The defibrillator will be registered with The Circuit, the national defibrillator network. In an emergency, the ambulance service will be able to identify its location and provide the caller with the access code and instructions on how to reach it.
Tutbury Parish Council would like to thank the Duchy of Lancaster’s Benevolent Fund for its generous support in helping to provide this valuable facility for the community.
