Why do we need Shopmobility in Cannock Chase?
The pedestrianisation of town centres, enclosed shopping malls and large retail parks means that it is now often not possible for people to park at or to be dropped off close to the front door of shops. The longer distances involved with getting from the car, train, bus or taxi cause difficulties for people, young or old, whether mobility impairment is temporary or permanent, in shopping and visiting town/city/shopping centres. Shopmobility schemes (www.shopmobilityuk.org) provide mobility equipment for hire to assist people to get around the town centres.
