Adults and children in Basildon who require mobility scooters are in for a treat when a new shop comes to town.

The Westworld Mobility shop will open in Market Square next month and will not only stock vehicles for adults, but will also have an exciting range of children's mobility equipment.

This will include scooters made to look like tanks and motorbikes as well as electric cars and other equipment.

Managing Director Ron Sverdloff said: "Children who are unfortunately born with disabilities still want to be part of society and we hope this type of equipment will help that.

"They do not want the mobility scooters the adults have."

The company, which is soon to merge with Leigh Mobility, based in Leigh Broadway, has researched particular needs and feels it has the equipment everyone needs.
