It is available to anyone, young or old, who because of illness, accident, injuries or disability, has difficulty getting around. Shopmobility is now available in Cannock, Rugeley and Hednesford town centres on a six month trial basis. Consultation with shopmobility customers will be ongoing during this period and your feedback and comments will be essential in the development of the Cannock Chase shopmobility scheme and affiliation to the National Federation of Shopmobility (please insert hyperlink to National Federation of Shopmobility www.shopmobilityuk.org)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.
