SNOW and ice have forced Swindon Shopmobility to close today.
The scheme gives those with limited mobility the chance to borrow scooters, power chairs and manual wheelchairs.
In a statement posted on social media Swindon Borough Council, which runs the service, said: “Despite efforts to ensure Shopmobility remains in service today, the service had to close due to the overnight drop in temperature. The grit and salt unfortunately hasn’t proved sufficient at this time to ensure the area for customers is safe.”
