Leamington
Spa Shopmobility is now open again 5 days a week, at Level 4 of the
Royal Priors car park. Our new opening times are 10:00 am to 5:00 pm,
Monday to Friday. As well as providing mobility scooters and
wheelchairs for loan, we sell a small range of walking aids. Robin
Brooks, our new manager, brings many years of Shopmobility experience
with him, and makes all visitors welcome.
If
you would like book one of our scooters or wheelchairs, please phone
us on 01926 470450 and leave a message. You can also email us at

Our
official re-opening took place on Monday 3rd
March, with a short ceremony in the newly refurbished shop. Our patron, local
Paralympic champion Nigel Murray, cut the ribbon and told us how
Shopmobility had helped him – he was one of our first members.
David Shilton, leader of Warwickshire County Council, gave a short
speech in praise of the work of Shopmobility. We are also grateful
for the attendance and support of councillors John Knight and Bill
Gifford, and Royal Priors manager Gerry McManus.

Trustees), Cllr John Knight (Deputy Mayor Royal Leamington Spa Town
Council), Cllr Sidney Syson (Trustee), Cllr David Shilton (Chairman

We
are still looking for more volunteers to help us run the scheme. In
particular, we need people who can spare a couple of hours to cover
the lunch period at the shop and assist new users. No selling is
involved! If you would like more information, please contact us as
above.
