Thousands of pounds has been invested to help people with limited mobility to get around Douglas town centre.

A Shopmobility service has been purchased for Saturdays in conjunction with Douglas Council and the Douglas Development Partnership.

It has cost the council over £5,000, and will operate from 10am to 4pm from Friday.

This will run in addition to the normal weekday service provided by Shopmobility Isle of Man, under the Manx charity CIRCA.
