The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Maryhill Burgh Halls on receiving a defibrillator after a generous donation from local police officers; understands that Police Scotland asked if it wanted the device for the halls after raising the funds; notes that officers from the local Community Policing Team took part in a sponsored cycle around the Isle of Arran to raise money for a publicly accessible defibrillator, which could benefit the people of Maryhill; understands that as well as funding the purchase of the defibrillator, the money raised has provided five years’ worth of pads and batteries, to ensure the longevity of use; understands that the community hub is delighted that locals have access to the defibrator; notes that the community space is frequently used by local residents for events, classes and celebrations, and further notes that volunteers and staff believe that the new device will help people feel safer in the building, knowing that they can now respond to a medical emergency.
