An area of Blackpool's North Shore will have access to lifesaving defibrillators thanks to an ongoing project.

Campaigners have been working with Blackpool Council's Be You initiative and the North West Ambulance Service Charity to raise funds for the vital devices.

The aim is to have as many of the defibrillators available in public places as possible in the town's Rainbow Quarter.

And to that aim, an impressive total of £4,000 has been raised in the last eight months, with three of the items already installed and more on the way.
