Fund councils to subsidise more mobility items for disabled and older people

What the petition asks
We want the Government to make mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs more affordable for disabled and elderly people by providing funding for more subsidies. Everyone deserves the freedom to move and live independently.
We think too many people are stuck at home, unable to get to the shops, doctors, or see loved ones because they can’t afford a mobility scooter. It’s heart-breaking and unfair. With better access, people could stay independent, connected, and live with dignity — not isolation.
