Our new Mobility Scooter in Flats Policy is now open for consultation from 21st July until 18th August.

The use of mobility aids, such as powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters is growing rapidly, enabling many individuals to maintain independence and improve quality of life. Mid Devon Housing (MDH) is committed to equality and inclusion and recognises the vital role these aids play in helping residents engage in daily activities and community life. These tools significantly contribute to resident wellbeing.

MDH has a statutory responsibility to uphold high standards of health and safety across its estates. In fulfilling this duty, MDH is required to ensure that the use of mobility vehicles within flats and communal areas complies with all relevant legal and safety requirements.

This policy sets out the conditions under which tenants and their visitors may use, store, and charge mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs within MDH flats and communal areas. This policy is only for tenants in flats, there are no restrictions to tenants living in houses or bungalows.
