About Ilkeston Shop Mobility
Both Long Eaton and Ilkeston cater for disabled visitors through Shopmobility schemes.
The service is open to anyone with a disability problem,whether it is temporary or permanent.
Self-propelled or battery operated wheelchair and scooters are available to loan. This is a tremendous advantage for those visiting Ilkeston town centre, which is situated on a steep slope.
To become a member, customers fill out an application form and are then issued with a card which they present each time they wish to use the service.
Both schemes now have hundreds of members. The Ilkeston service is located at the east side of High Street close to Erewash Museum and has a car park for members which are open from Tuesday till Saturday, 9am till 2:30pm (see the map at the bottom of this page).
Long Eaton Shopmobility is also situated centrally at New Street and is open from Tuesday till Friday, 8am till 4pm & Saturday 8am till 3pm
