New Defibrillator in Overthorpe
We now have a defibrillator in Overthorpe which can be found on Manor House next to the post box and noticeboard in the centre of the village. When you call an ambulance and they decide you need the defibrillator they will tell you the code you need to access the defibrillator. The defibrillator itself will guide you through how to use it but we understand that using it for the first time (and hopefully the only time!) will be stressful for everyone involved so you may find it helpful to watch the following video when you don't need the defibrillator so you are as prepared as possible if you do.
Traffic through Overthorpe
Following the increase in traffic through Overthorpe in recent weeks (caused by the roadworks on A422/M40 Junction 11 roundabout), there have been a large number of posts on What’sApp with suggestions of how to mitigate the problems.
