Wheelchair users are now able to access shopmobility in Carlisle after closing as a result of lockdown.

The scheme, based in The Lanes Shopping Centre, reopened on Monday.

Based on level two of The Lanes car park, it provides powered scooters and wheelchairs (both manual and powered) for people with mobility difficulties, to help them shop and use the facilities in Carlisle city centre.

To use the service there is a charge of £2 per day.

A spokesman for the city council said: "Please be aware that there will be limited toilet provision.

"Due to restrictions on social distancing, most retailers and council-managed public toilets will be closed.

"Four temporary toilets have been installed within the city centre including baby changing and disabled provision. These are located off English Street accessed by Lowthians Lane."

Shopmobility usual opening hours are 10am and 4pm, Monday - Friday.
