Defib's in Hebburn

Ive been told Hebburn has 4 x lifesaving Defib's in the Town and there is a Sticker on the one outside the Iona saying 'Out of use'.
Does anyone know who was the Guardian that kindly provided it as the Iona people might not know? It's probably out of use because of a battery or it needs new pads as they are single use pads
I thought our Local Authority would help with that kind of equipment but apparently not..

Have you tried asking the owner/operator of the Iona?
I had one installed outside my pub. Raised the funds from local business's(about £1200) local electrician wired it up to my pub electrics (as they need a trickle feed to keep the battery topped up) and I provided the electric for free.
So I'm sure that the Iona may provide the electric, so worth asking the question of the manager?
