Cranbook's first mobility scooter launches
Cranbrook's first mobility scooter set to enhance accessibility in the town.
Cranbrook Town Council is excited to announce the launch of Cranbrook’s first mobility scooter, marking a significant milestone for the town. The launch ceremony will be held on Saturday, 28 September 2024, in Cranbrook, Devon.
This new initiative follows the recent opening of the Cranbrook Skate Park and Pump Track, further enhancing the amenities available to residents and visitors alike. The mobility scooter will allow easier travel around the town and access to key locations, including the award-winning Cranbrook Country Park.
The mobility scooter scheme is developed and managed by Cranbrook Town Council and co-funded through a partnership between Cranbrook Town Council, Devon County Council, LiveWest[1] and Move More Cranbrook[2].
