Braintree Shopmobility
Braintree Shopmobility provides use
of Electric Scooters to anyone who has limited mobility due to
temporary or permanent disability (for example illness, accident,
age or
pregnancy) so that they can shop or use other facilities
anywhere in the town centre.
You can pick up a Scooter at George
Yard but you must book in advance.
To book call Braintree Tourist Information
Centre on 01376 550066 who can also give further information.
The first time you use a scooter
you will be asked for proof of identity. Single uses of the scooter
require a minimum £2 donation. To use a scooter regularly,
we ask that you become a member of the scheme, which costs £10
per year. This entitles you to ten uses of the scooter and free
parking in the multi-storey car–park
(when using the members’ Shopmobility car sticker.)
We also have a push wheelchair available,
which is free of charge.
Braintree Shopmobility is run by
a small independent committee of volunteers – we always need
help with fundraising and publicity, so please feel free to contact
us through the TIC or George Yard Shopping Centre 01376 550373.
