  • London Taxicard Scheme
    LONDON TAXICARD SCHEME The Taxicard scheme is for permanent residents of the 32 London boroughs and the City of London, who find it difficult or impossible to use mainstream public transport such as buses and tubes (due to permanent or long-term mobility or visual impairments), and provides subsidised transport in taxis (Black Cabs) and private hire vehicles (mini-cabs). If you have short-term mobility impairments such as a broken leg, or live outside of the London boroughs, you are not eligible for a Taxicard. London Councils manages the Taxicard scheme on behalf of London’s local authorities, and CityFleet manages the taxis and mini-cabs used by Taxicard holders. Full details of the Taxicard scheme can be found on the London Councils website: www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/services/taxicard There are six pages to the attached application form. To ensure that your application isn’t delayed, read the form carefully, and complete it in full. PAGE 1 is where you enter your personal details. All applicants must supply proof of their identity and address, along with a recent colour photo. Further details on the documents and photos we accept can be found on PAGE 6. PAGE 2 asks about your health and mobility, and why you need a Taxicard. Please attach copies of medical evidence that supports your statements, as these will help to assess your application. We also ask about physical aids to your mobility, such as walking sticks and wheelchairs, to help us understand your mobility difficulties outside of the home. PAGE 3 is for wheelchair and mobility scooter users ONLY.

  • Car Portable Scooters
    Car Portable Scooters Forr Mobility Frithfield Farm Aldington Ashford Kent TN257HH 01233 721589 www.forrmobility.co.uk Car Portable Scooters Mobility Scooters can be grouped into three different categories:- Car Portable Scooters, Mid Range Pavement Scooters Large road going scooters. To make sure that you choose the mobility scooter most appropriate to your needs and lifestyle, there are a number of things to take into consideration. A Car Portable scooter may the right choice if you have the means to travel independently, can get on and off a scooter without help, and have the ability to use the controls and steering. Using the controls will require the constant use of either your fingers or your thumbs. Car portable scooters are normally for relatively gentle slopes and level surfaces. Light and easy to transport, these scooters usually dismantle into a few parts or fold to allow you to carry them in a car boot. You will need to make sure that any car portable scooter you choose can easily fit into the space available in your car, and that you, or someone who will be with are physically able to lift the heaviest part into the boot easily. The heaviest part is usually around 30 lb to 40 lb (13.5 kg to 18kg). Folding Scooters are often heavier than this. If you are unable to lift that weight then a hoist can be fitted to many cars to do this for you. Please contact us for further details. Ramps are rarely suitable putting for this type of scooter into the back of the car due to the low ground clearance requiring a very long ramp that will be heavier than the scooter to lift.
