It's just over a month since our official re-opening, and we have been busy both in the shop and online.

We are now on Twitter - find us and follow us @SpaShopmobility. Thanks to Stephanie Kerr of BID Leamington for getting us started. 
We are also on Facebook where you can become a friend of Leamington Shopmobility
Our own website is: www.leamingtonshopmobility.org.uk 
Robin Brooks, our new manager, trained as a mechanic with the RAF, so who better to thoroughly check over every scooter and wheelchair. Just one scooter was in need of some new batteries, which are on order. All the rest are in sound condition and ready to roll, if not to fly!

Here's Robin:


and some of our scooters in the workshop getting a battery charge – we have 3-wheelers too

As well as checking over the vehicles, Robin has completed the tidying and reorganisation of the shop. We have acquired some new furniture, including a table and some upright chairs for use by customers and visitors.

If you are not yet a member of Leamington Spa Shopmobility and you think we might be able to help you to get around in Leamington, give us a call on 01926 470450, or drop in to see us on Level 4 of the Royal Priors car park, just above M&S. Please do use the door push buttons. We've found that manually pulling the doors open can damage the motors, so let the doors do the work! There is now a button on each side of the doors on the outside, thanks to the management of Royal Priors.


We look forward to many of our regular customers returning and new members joining as Spring tempts people into town.
