Life-saving machine in heart of Carluke
Like community councils elsewhere in Clydesdale such as Biggar’s, Carluke’s has been striving to buy and install a heart-starting defibrillator machine somewhere in the town centre with easy access to it in an emergency.
The undisclosed amount of money needed to buy such a machine was donated to the council by Linda Johnson and the team of ladies at the Crossroads Cafe at Carluke’s Kirkton Church.
