The council runs shop mobility schemes in Ashby and Scunthorpe. Anyone with a mobility problem can hire motorised wheelchairs and scooters for free.
The Scunthorpe shop mobility scheme is located on the ground floor of the Parishes Multi Storey car park. Free parking is available for disabled badge holders.
The Ashby shop mobility scheme is located at the Ashby Local Link office on Ashby Turn. Free parking is also available for users of the new scheme.

Online registration form
You can use our online registration form to apply to use the electric scooters and/or wheel chairs provided by the Shopmobility service.
Please note: the form is only a registration form and all applicants must attend the Shopmobility Centre for an assessment before they are allowed to use the equipment.
- Assessments are carried out by appointment between Monday and Thursday (Tel. 01724 297418).
- No one is allowed out for the first time on a Friday or Saturday (Scunthorpe Market days) as the town centre is usually busy.
- If you wish to use the scooters at Ashby you must be first assessed at the Scunthorpe centre.
