Users of mobility scooters in the District are being urged to have them tested for safety. Free electric checks are being carried out in Witney on 4 October and Chipping Norton on 18 October.
Cllr Toby Morris, Cabinet Member for Health and Safety at West Oxfordshire District Council, said: “Through our Shopmobility service we know how important mobility scooters are for our residents to allow them to get out of the house and enjoy activities such as shopping and visiting friends. “As a result it is vital that scooters are well maintained and these free checks will help ensure their machines are fit for purpose.”
For details of free electric checks in West Oxfordshire see attached.
