Stall Holder Request Form 2022

UNFORTUNATELY THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Prescot Town Council have purchased and installed a community defibrillator at Prescot Town Hall. This will be located on the external wall of Prescot Town Hall (adjacent to St Helens Road) which will be accessible to all members of the public 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The defibrillator is secured in a locked cabinet and the access code can be obtained from the ambulance service by dialling 999.

This is the second defibrillator that Prescot Town Council have purchased and installed, the first one being located inside Prescot Town Hall for staff and service users of the Town Hall facility.

A defibrillator is a device that gives a high energy electric shock to the heart of someone who is in cardiac arrest. This high energy shock is called defibrillation, and it’s an essential part in trying to save the life of someone who’s in cardiac arrest. A defibrillator may also be referred to as a defib, an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) or a PAD (Public Access Defibrillator).

Anyone can use a defibrillator; they are simple and easy to use, and the machine will provide clear instructions on what to do once you have pressed the activation button.

In the event of an emergency dial 999 and ask for an ambulance before you do anything else. The operator will confirm the location of the nearest defibrillator and provide the access code if it is in a locked cabinet.

Both defibrillators have been registered online with The Circuit – the national defibrillator network which connects defibrillators to NHS ambulance services across the UK so that in those crucial moments after a cardiac arrest, they can be accessed quickly to help save lives.

Prescot has a rich tradition as a Town with a strong community, sometimes the efforts of particular individuals and groups stand out as being above and beyond that of a usual citizen. These groups and individuals are not always aware of the positive impact they can have, on both individuals and the wider community, and can go largely unsung for their actions. In order to recognise these individuals and the positive contribution they make to the lives of others, the Town Council introduced the Prescot Community Recognition Awards and we are now in our sixth year of holding the awards. If there is somebody that you know, whom you believe has made a valuable difference, to you or the wider community in your area, please complete a nomination form and return it to the Town Council by the 31st May 2022.

Nomination forms are available below or from the Town Hall.

Prescot Town Council staff and elected members were pleased to welcome our Senior residents from the community for a festive celebration on 21st December 2021 . We served free festive refreshments, listened to festive music and handed out selection packs and mince pies for all. We were joined by the Mayor of Prescot, Cllr Christopher Krelle who was selling raffle tickets for his Charity Christmas Raffle along with gifts and crafts. The Friends of Eaton Street Park held a very successful tombola and we had Pauline from the HME Residents Association selling knitted Christmas gifts. A great time was enjoyed by all. Thank you to all those who attended and we hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Congratulations to Prescot Mission Christmas on being awarded the Community Group of the Year 2021, members of the group received the award from the Mayor of Prescot, Cllr Christopher Krelle.
