Affordable Mobility is really on the move


AN established Clith­ eroe firm offering life- aids to disabled people and those of reduced mobility has expanded to new shop-front


premises. Affordable Mobility


at 40 York Street start­ ed trading as a special­ ist Stannhh stairlift supplier five years ago and soon received the full backing of the com- pany by achieving authorised dealership


status. Following inquiries


from customers, the firm started supplying mobility scooters and other related equip­ ment, a development in the business which has led to the latest move. The lower level of the


new shop displays rows of four-wheeled, bat­


tery powered mobility scooters, a variety of wheelchairs, wheeled walkers and table trol­ lies, and a bath lift. The upper level holds a vari- gty . of electric rise/recline armchairs and popular fireside chairs, a continuing range which was stocked by South-
