Nottingham's Victoria Centre has confirmed a service allowing people to hire wheelchairs will no longer be available if proposed council cuts go ahead. Nottingham City Council has unveiled a range of proposals to try and plug a funding gap of £32 million for the next financial year.
The plans including the cutting of 110 councils jobs and a review of parking charges and fees across the city. Another one of the plans involved the withdrawing of the Shopmobility service from the Victoria Centre.
Wheelchairs are currently hired out through the Shopmobility service, which is operated entirely by Nottingham City Council and which is based in the Victoria Centre's multi-storey car park. A spokesperson for the centre has now confirmed that this service will no longer be available if the council's planned cuts go ahead.
