That the Parliament welcomes the news that Tillicoultry, Coalsnaughton and Devonside Community Council has installed an automated external defibrillator (AED), which can be used in emergencies; understands that the crucial piece of equipment is located on the High Street in Tillicoultry; believes that, to coincide with the unveiling, a group of community councillors, local retailers and members of the public gathered for a training session in the Centenary Hall; acknowledges that, the earlier CPR is started, the better chance there is of survival; believes that everyone should consider learning lifesaving skills; considers that the community council will be holding CPR training sessions in the near future, and hopes that many residents take up the opportunity of learning CPR skills.
