Horsham tour

Wimmera Mobility Group’s March 26 meeting will include a bus tour of Horsham.

The group has organised the tour on a bus with disability access.

Group chairman Geoff Baker said the tour would take two hours and finish with lunch at May Park.

“We thought it would be good to show people how much Horsham has grown and developed in the past few years,” he said.

Mr Baker said the group was also keen to attract new members, especially now figures suggested 800 mobility scooters were in use in Horsham.

“We’ve had one meeting already this year and we’re keen to remind everyone that is or might be considering using a mobility scooter that we welcome them and provide support,” he said.

“Many people are unaware of rules and regulations and that’s why we’re here.

“We constantly monitor mobility access in Horsham and are a sounding board for Horsham Rural City Council.”

The group has its meetings at Horsham RSL on the fourth Tuesday of every month, starting at 10am, with a gold coin donation.

Mr Baker said the group’s latest message was for motorists backing out of their driveways onto footpaths to sound their horns.
