People were delighted by an investment from a local council that is allowing those with mobility and other disabilities to visit the beach for the first time.
Wirral Council have recently invested in new beach-accessible wheelchairs that will allow those whose disabilities would previously prevent them from going onto the sand to get the full seaside experience. There are six of the wheelchairs in total, based at New Brighton's Floral Pavilion and the Wirral Watersports Centre in West Kirby, and all of them can be booked for free.
The council posted a video on Facebook showing a delighted group of disabled or mobility-restricted people using the wheelchairs. The video received a round of applause, with many people chiming in on how the new wheelchairs could give their friends and relatives an experience that was so difficult before.
