A defibrillator was installed on the front of the station by Northern in the week before Christmas. Unfortunately planning permission had not been obtained. Glossop Station as a Grade 2 Listed building is subject to strict conservation rules. High Peak Borough Council then became involved. Its Conservation Officer gave Northern two months temporary planning permission and then, after that expired, it had to be relocated. All parties involved, including FOGS, were willing to find a suitable alternative site.
Two days ago the defibrillator was taken down. Northern has now made the decision to donate it to High Peak Council for a suitable town centre position. This could be for example be one of the BT payphone boxes in Norfolk Square.
We would like to thank County Councillor Jean Wharmby for her help with this issue and Gillian Bayliss Conservation Officer for High Peak Borough Council. And of course Becky Styles Community and Sustainability Manager at Northern for all her practical advice and assistance.
