A Shopmobility service has been launched at the Willow Brook Centre in Bradley Stoke.

People who have difficulties in getting around can make use of electric scooters or manual wheelchairs for free if they have a South Gloucestershire Bus Pass. For those without a pass, the charge is £3.

The scooters are available every Thursday in the main mall area, from 11am to 4pm.

To book one turn up or phone 07503 070175.

Anyone who would like to volunteer their time to help with the scheme should contact Councillor John Ashe through Bradley Stoke Town Council or Shopmobility direct on 01454 868718
