Shopping
Kirklees has a Shopmobility scheme as part of the nationwide scheme Shopmobility. Why struggle with shopping when you
can let the scooter take the strain? To help town centre shoppers with limited mobility you can use Shopmobility
scooters and powered wheelchairs to call at the bank, visit the library, meet with friends, enjoy a meal or simply to
browse around the shops. Many town centres are pedestrianised for better access to facilities, improved safety and
greater comfort, and crossing points are provided on a number of town centres streets.
