Recent Events

​On 2nd November, a service was held at the White Lady Springs to dedicate the newly placed Memorial Stone to those who fell in past wars. The service was taken by Reverend Moira Biggin and attended by our Parish Chair and vice chair, Jan and Ollie Pallett respectively, along with Councillor Carol Wright. County Councillor Pat Murray was also in attendance, along with members of the local community.
Castle Gresley Parish Council are pleased to announce that thanks to funding from the Castle Gresley Amenity Fund, a defibrillator has been installed at the Castle Court Residential Home at Linton Road, Castle Gresley. 
​
​The defibrillator is stored in a locked vandal-proof enclosure, and when a member of the public calls 999 to report a suspected cardiac arrest the operator will give them the combination to open the enclosure and access the defibrillator. It is simple and safe to use and no training is required as the machine gives clear spoken instructions.

We hope that it is never needed but are pleased to provide an important facility for the community.
