ER TO REMEMBER

Surf the sands in hottest seats on Merseyside

SIX beach wheelchairs are proving to be a red-hot attraction at New Brighton and West Kirby beaches for people with mobility difficulties

Cllr Yvonne Nolan, chair of the Wirral Adult Social Care and Public Health Committee, said: “We know that this is something which many people have been asking about for some time, so it is great that we have been able to provide the funding to not only purchase the equipment, but to also make them free to hire

“This specialist equipment gives access to the beach and to the water for people who had previously been denied it due to their disability or mobility issues and their use will bring so much enjoyment ”

There are three different types of wheelchair available – two that need pushing and a powered one, available only at the Floral Pavilion

All chairs are equipped with support straps, cushions and harnesses

You can book the chairs through the Floral Pavilion website or the Wirral Leisure booking system (www activewirral com/leisurehub) for chairs from the Watersports Centre n Tel 0151 666 0000 www floralpavilion com
