Sir - The Largs Dementia Friendly Group have joined forces with Scottish Fire and Rescue, and First Responder volunteers, in installing carbon monoxide detectors, and locking cooker valves.

With reference to recent articles in the Largs and Millport News on life saving carbon monoxide alarms being available to suitable candidates - i.e. families with young children, pregnant women and senior people, all of whom are more vulnerable to the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning - should you wish to enquire about having one installed free of charge, please make contact via email with Largsfirstresponders@gmail.com or info@dementialargs.co.uk.
