“Amazed at the story and not getting any younger I thought it would be a good idea for this area,” said Eddie.

Through collective efforts, they secured funding and purchased the device, now prominently placed at North Street and Union Street."

Eddie expressed his gratitude for the support received from the community, stating: "Better to have one and not need it than need it and not have it."
