Public and community transport

For many people driving is about more than just getting from A to B. Driving provides a sense of freedom, independence and security and many want to keep driving for as long as possible. Purchasing or adapting a car can be quite an expensive business to it is important that you get assessment and advice from an independent source.

The William Merritt Disabled Living Centre offer driver assessments and advice regarding all aspects of car transport including fitness to drive, vehicle adaptations, passenger access, wheelchair accessible vehicles and wheelchair/scooter stowage. Some assessments do have a fee, but passenger/car access assessments at the centre are free.
