Inverness taxis & Wheelchairs

[RiG]

Anyone know the number for a Sneck taxi firm that can cater for folk in wheelchairs?

Cheers.

You should do a PM to lg Andrew, she would know of any.

My Missus's job involves caring for disabled folk and she is always moaning about the lack of taxi's to cater for wheelchair users. :007:

[RiG]

A spendid suggestion Richard!

It's for a Mirren fan who is staying in Sneck over the New year.

RiG, part of my job is to provide transport provision for the disabled and socially excluded. If I can be of any help give me a shout at... admin@intrans.org.uk    I have qualified MIDAS accessible drivers available to assist.

Caley100, ask your missus to contact me, there are other options available.

[RiG]

Cheers for that - passing it onto the St. Mirran lad now  :003:

Phew! And I thought we were going to have a serious thread for a minute here.

I notice DLM have a new wheelchair taxi. 01463 222403.  A small local company called PDS 01463 729666 also have some.  Best book in advance though as it is well documented that they are not too readily available on demand. 

[Action Man]

We might yet. The problem with some taxi operators is that carrying disabled passengers safely means taking time to use correct wheelchair restraints etc, and few are prepared to take the time to follow correct safety procedures, hence a reluctance to take on these jobs. There is also a severe lack of training in these safety procedures. There are five community minibuses operating locally and these have trained drivers who do take time to transport disabled passengers using correct procedures.

If anyone is interested I run courses in Accessibilty driver training.

Good point, Rig.... My apologies for that old temptress who keeps trying to lead me astray... :024:
