The father of a 12-year-old boy who died from a hidden heart condition has been left 'dismayed' after a council turned down plans to install defibrillators, describing the units housing them as 'street clutter'. Last month, Bury Council rejected plans put forward by JCDecaux to put communication hubs at Haymarket Street and outside the Rock and Millgate shopping centres.
The units would offer free calls to landlines, free Wi-Fi, a 32-inch touch screen with access to local web-pages, a publicly accessible defibrillator and charging ports along with advertising screens. In its decision to turn down the plans the council said that although the defibrillators in the public realm 'would represent a public benefit', their positioning within a much larger unit would mean that benefit 'would not outweigh the harm identified to the character and appearance of the conservation area'.
The Oliver King Foundation has helped install around 6,000 defibrillators alongside awareness training courses about the equipment. They estimate that around 71 lives have been saved by defibrillators donated by the foundation.

The foundation was set up in 2012 following the death of 12-year-old Oliver King who died from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS), a hidden heart condition. Oliver attended King David High School in Liverpool and suffered a cardiac arrest whilst taking part in a swimming race.
The decision notice from Bury Council stated that the hubs would lead to the ‘creation of additional street clutter for an installation that primarily consists of an advertisement screen’. Mark King, Oliver's dad and founder of The Oliver King Foundation, said: "I am dismayed by the Bury Council
