Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association (SAGE) applied for over £900 from Councillor Chandra Kanneganti’s Ward Budget to purchase a much needed defibrillator to be sited at the Londis Supermarket & Post Office in Goldenhill.
The residents association topped up the much needed purchase by donating £50 out of its funds, and with the councillor contributing to such a good cause, it would be fitting he presented the lifesaving equipment to Kartheepan Sriramamoorthy “Sri” who is the manager of Londis.
Saving lives at this time of the COVID-19 epidemic is important to all of us, and it is believed that even if having a defibrillator located in the village saves one life then it will have been money well spent.
Sri on accepting the defibrillator into his Supermarket/Post Office welcomed having the equipment on site, saying he always supports the local community wherever he can, and having lifesaving apparatus on site; could mean the difference between someone’s life and death.
Chandra Kanneganti says that to have a defibrillator in a busy village like Goldenhill is invaluable to the local community. The councillor went onto say that having this piece of equipment to save lives is so easy to use, and he is looking to provide lifesaving training later in the year for local residents to attend an event.

The residents association representing friends and neighbours would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has given to Ken’s collection.
 Please be aware that Staffordshire Police have received calls in relation to telephone calls being made to residents stating that they are from Scotland Yard and they have been a victim of crime.

 Could this be the future of toilets in Stoke on Trent Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association representing its many residents have been asked to contact the council re not to close Stoke on Trent public toilets, including the one in Tunstall Town Centre.
Many residents, including the elderly in Sandyford/Goldenhill who suffer medical conditions requiring a toilet that shop in Tunstall and visit local parks have concerns about losing these facilities. It is mentioned by the council that toilets will be offered in the Town Hall, but after being advised by residents; they are still not happy not to have the easy access facility of stand-alone public toilets.
It is also important to note that changing/losing toilet facilities whether in a town or park will isolate elderly and vulnerable people from visiting such locations, and especially in the towns where business is suffering even more. It is worth noting that Hanley does have more toilet facilities on offer than any of the other five towns, which could move footfall to the city Centre at the expense of e.g. Tunstall.
Further comments received from residents are that the change in toilet facilities in all areas across the city would encourage urination in alternative places not fit for purpose.
Residents say that to lose such an important facility in Stoke on Trent parks and towns at a cost of £79,000 is a small price to pay to keep people mobile knowing a public convenience is nearby.
The residents association has contacted the council to ask them to reverse their decision not to close public toilets as well asking the M.P. & Councillor for their support in this matter.
