Undercover Parking for Mobility Scooters
Have you ever thought what it would be like to sit on a mobility scooter which has been caught in a shower of rain. Not pleasant! Thanks to the generous owner of the area Daphne Skilton, Southdown Engineers Ltd who painted the lines and David Freeman of HMG Coatings (South) Ltd who donated the paint, there is now undercover parking for mobility scooters at the end of Caudle Street – outside Cornerweighs. Parking is at the owner’s risk. So do use the area when you need somewhere dry to park, for example, if you are going to Henfield Hall.
Are you a Mobility Scooter or Powered Chair User?
Access Henfield, in association with Horsham-based volunteer group, Mobility Scooter Safety (MSS), can now offer Safety Sessions in and around Henfield to help to reduce the chances of an accident.
If you use a mobility scooter or powered chair, you should join a FREE 1-to-1 safety Session. This can be from your home or in a small group, from Red Oaks Care Home. They will accompany and advise you on the best and safe way to drive on your local pavements. The 2-hour (max) Safety Session is not a test – there is no pass or fail and you will receive a certificate afterwards.
You will be shown how to anticipate possible accidents and avoid them. You can become a safer driver by having a better understanding of the correct use, and limitations, of your scooter or powered wheelchair.
Are you thinking of buying a scooter?
A Scooter Tutor could come to your home so you can ride a scooter. This can help you buy the right type. Note that MSS only offer FREE advice. They don’t sell anything.
You can get more information from the website: mobilityscootersafety.org.uk or phone 07906 211030 / 07729 376345
