Welcome return of Shopmobility

It is excellent to see the launch of a brand new service under The Circle banner which will provide mobility scooters and other mobility to loan on a donation basis at locations around Dundee.

The new venture – The Circle Mobility – will be based at Overgate Shopping Centre and will aim to improve accessibility in the city.

The Circle Mobility will integrate the former Shopmobility service, a mobility hire service which was previously based at the shopping centre. The initial relaunch will focus on the original service to provide Overgate customers with better accessibility to the shopping centre.

It was very disappointing that the former Shopmobility service closed a year ago so it is really great news that The Circle Mobility has launched.

You can read more about this and planned expansion of the service during 2024 at www.thecirclecic.org.uk/were-launching-a-new-service-aimed-at-improving-accessibility-in-dundee
