CT Oldham
Thanks to funding from Oldham MBC we run two important services for people with mobility difficulties in Oldham:
- Promobility is Oldham's "shopmobility" service, based at Tommyfield Market in the heart of the town centre; we have a range of powered scooters and wheelchairs to give people independent mobility when shopping in Oldham town centre
- Dial-a-Ride is a minibus-based service catering for vital regular journeys across the Borough for people with complex mobility needs - particularly people who use wheelchairs
Membership for each service is just £6 per year or join both for just £9
If you or someone you know needs one of these services, give our Oldham office a ring on one of the numbers on the right or email oldham@communitytransport.org
