LIFE-saving equipment has been unveiled at York's Vangarde Shopping Park.

A defibrillator can now be found at park, in a locked yellow cabinet, between Marks and Spencer and Next on the main walkway.

The machine, which was funded by the park, costs around £1000 and can be used by members of the public to give emergency help to someone suffering a heart attack.

The defibrillator is accessible by a code provided by the ambulance service when someone rings 999. The devices then give easy-to-follow audible instructions on how they should be used.
