The Victoria Centre has confirmed a service allowing people to hire wheelchairs will no longer be available if proposed council cuts go ahead
Nottingham's Victoria Centre has confirmed a service allowing people to hire wheelchairs will no longer be available if proposed council cuts go ahead. Nottingham City Council has unveiled a range of proposals to try and plug a funding gap of £32 million for the next financial year.
Wheelchairs are currently hired out through the Shopmobility service, which is operated entirely by Nottingham City Council and which is based in the Victoria Centre's multi-storey car park. A spokesperson for the centre has now confirmed that this service will no longer be available if the council's planned cuts go ahead.
They said: "We're sorry to hear of Nottingham City Council's proposed plans to withdraw the city's Shopmobility service. While this service was solely operated by the City Council, the centre's own offering for disabled shoppers remains unchanged.
