IN the beating heart of a village... a defibrillator has been installed. And this week the lifesaving device took up residence at the community centre in Buckland-in-the-Moor.

Pictured at Saturday’s unveiling are (from left) those who helped make the fixture a reality: Annette and Guy Hillhouse, Buckfastleigh Town Council’s Huw Cox, Teignbridge councillors John Nutley and George Gribble and local parish chairman David Burke with his dogs.
