The Buckingham Shopmobility Service is a scheme that allows anyone with a mobility problem, whether temporary or permanent, not just Blue Badge Holders, to get out and about in Buckingham town centre. The service is sponsored by Buckingham Town Council and is for anyone who wishes to shop or sight-see in Buckingham town centre.

We have electric mobility scooters which are free to hire, and manual wheelchairs can be hired at a small cost, and they can be folded for loading into a vehicle for home use, hospital appointments, visits to local events and places of interest. The Shopmobility building is located in Cornwall’s Meadow Car Park next to the public toilets.

Access Able

Access Able aim to give you the accessibility information you need to work out if a place is going to be accessible for you. They have surveyed 10,000s of venues across the UK and Ireland, including shops, pubs, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, railway stations, hotels, colleges, universities, hospitals and more.

Buckingham's Access Awareness Group meet to discuss access issues in Buckingham Town. For more information, contact tic@buckingham-tc.gov.uk

Chantry Chapel, Gilt Swan, The Old Gaol, The Tourist Information Centre, Stowe Landscape Gardens and many more places within Buckingham are accessible for all people and their different needs. Being accessible for all would mean that the buildings have things like level flooring or ramps, wide doorways, step free access, on site or nearby car parks, toilet facilities and sight or sound assistance systems.
