Mobility scooters

We realise that electric mobility scooters are not only becoming more affordable but are a fantastic way for people to continue to getting out and about. However, it's important that scooters are used and stored safely.

Electric scooters are considered to be outdoor vehicles and must not normally be used to get around indoors - for example to get to the lounge or the laundry. However, permission may be granted for you to do so.

It is important that extra care is taken when using a scooter in and around a Trust development or in the garden.

To support us to maintain the safety and security of both yourself and others, it's important that you apply for permission before purchasing a mobility scooter. This is because we need to complete a risk assessment to make sure there is a safe place to store and charge your scooter.

To apply for permission, please read the document below and request the application form from on-site staff or your Customer Partner (digital and printed available).
