Life and Mobility Solutions: helping Warminster stay mobile

For those seeking expert advice and high-quality mobility equipment, Life and Mobility Solutions in Warminster offers a welcoming and pressure-free environment to find the right product for their needs. Located in George Street, the showroom is part of a family-run company with over 30 years of experience in the mobility and stair-lift industry.

Stuart, the manager of the Warminster branch, explains what sets Life and Mobility Solutions apart: “We have a really wide range of products in our showroom so people can come in, have a look, and try them out. And because we are not tied to any single manufacturer, we don’t push products on to our customers – we simply help them find the most suitable option to suit their needs. We aim to offer the right product and great service at a reasonable price.”

The showroom features an extensive selection of mobility scooters, lightweight powerchairs, wheelchairs, walkers and British-made adjustable beds and rise-and-recline chairs. Additionally, a wide range of daily living aids, such as grab rails, walking sticks, rollators, pillboxes and wheelchair cushions, are available to help make everyday tasks easier.

Mobility scooters remain one of the most popular products, particularly in spring and summer. Customers can find scooters suited for everything from shopping centre trips to countryside excursions. “When helping a customer choose a scooter, we consider factors such as whether it needs to fit in a car, the person’s lifting ability, and what terrain they plan to use it on,” said Stuart. “It’s all about making sure they feel safe and comfortable.”

Try before you buy

One of the biggest advantages of shopping at Life and Mobility Solutions is the ability to try before buying. “Unlike some online and large retailers, we take the time to get absolutely the right product for each individual. We want our customers to return to us in the future, knowing they can trust us to provide the best advice and service. It’s all about chatting with the customer, finding out what they need and then having the opportunity to try the product out to make sure it’s the right product for them.

“This is particularly important for large purchases such as a mobility scooter or wheelchair but it can be equally important for everyday aids like rollators. People who buy these online or have one from a relative, often stand too far away and have the handles too high which can make them dangerous.  Here you can come and try them out and we’ll give you advice on how to use them safely and get the best from them.”

Home delivery

Beyond sales, the company also offers part-exchange, servicing and repair facilities, handled in-house by trained technicians. They even provide home delivery, often personally carried out by Stuart himself. “If there’s ever an issue, we’re right here on their doorstep to sort it out,” he adds.

Life and Mobility Solutions prides itself on its family-run values, ensuring a warm, friendly, and no-pressure experience for every customer. For more information, visit www.lifeandandmobility.co.uk, visit them at 17 George Street or call 01985 440282.

Warminster’s monthly Carer’s Cafe will relaunch next month at Henford House Care Home.

  • Young runner raises thousands with 100-day challenge

An 18-year-old from Warminster has raised almost £2,000 for the Samaritans by running 5km every day for 100 days.

Archie Heywood began the challenge on 1st January and will complete his final run on 10th April. He chose to raise money for the Samaritans after receiving support from the charity during a difficult period last year.

“It feels great to be nearly at the end of the challenge. I feel like the 100 days have flown by, and I’m proud of myself for keeping going and spreading the message and awareness of men’s mental health,” said Archie.

“My main motivation to keep going has been the fact that I’m raising money and awareness for a charity that has helped me. Each run I think about how the money is potentially saving lives and that every penny goes towards helping someone who was struggling like me."

“The aim of the FOWH is to promote and enable the provision of health facilities to patients within Warminster and the surrounding villages, as well as encouraging the recruitment of volunteers.

  • Residents invited to share views on waste and recycling services

Wiltshire Council is asking residents to share their experiences to help shape future waste and recycling services, including plans to move to three-weekly household waste collections.

The council’s survey will run until Friday 17th April, gathering feedback on current household waste and recycling habits, use of Household Recycling Centres (HRCs) and residents’ views on service changes, including the move to three-weekly general household waste collections, alongside new weekly food waste collections coming in 2027 and additional recycling options.

The council says residents’ feedback will be used to shape future waste and recycling services, identify concerns and support needs during any service changes and improve communications.

Cllr Paul Sample JP, Cabinet Member for Environment, Climate and Waste, said, “We are aiming to increase recycling rates in Wiltshire from 40% to well over 60%. We know that changes to waste and recycling services will raise concerns. This survey is an important opportunity for residents to tell us what works for them, what doesn’t and what support they will need. Their feedback will help us shape communications and improve our service delivery.”

  • Council rejects transfer of ownership of local churchyard

Warminster Town Councillors have voted against taking over the ownership and maintenance of the churchyard at Christ Church.

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) requested the closure of the churchyard on Weymouth Street in September, and asked the town council to take over its ownership and management last month. A closed churchyard has no space for new graves but existing family plots can still be used where space allows.

At a Full Council meeting on Monday 23rd March, councillors rejected the transfer due to concerns about the lack of information on costs and maintenance requirements.

Warminster Town Council already manages the closed churchyard on Boreham Road, but Town Clerk Tom Dommett said the Weymouth Street site was “a very different proposition” due to more complex maintenance needs.

In a letter, the PCC described the churchyard as in “fair condition.”

  • Teen footballer signs for Premier League academy

A local teenager has been signed to Premier League side AFC Bournemouth’s U15 academy.

Anderson Tieman, a student at Kingdown School, was offered the position following an eight-week trial at the club. He is now training three to four times a week with professional youth coaches and will be competing against top southern clubs including Arsenal and Chelsea.

“I really want to go through all the age groups at Bournemouth, that’s 16s, 18s then to U21s through to the first team. Bournemouth really want to bring people through its academy to reach the first team. I hope I will be fortunate enough to get there!”

  • Warminster man jailed for large‑scale money laundering and drug supply

A man from Warminster has been sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment for his role in moving cocaine, cannabis and cash around the country.

Shay Girvan, 22, formerly of Station Road, Warminster, was arrested following an extensive investigation by Wiltshire Police’s Serious and Organised Crime Unit.

Det Constable Jared Yalden said, “Girvan was a trusted lieutenant, heavily involved in the movement of large quantities of cocaine, cannabis and cash and his jail sentence reflects his position within the group and the role he played.”

Another man, Charlie Savage, from Standerwick, near Frome, was also sentenced to 12 years for his role in heading up a large-scale organised crime group and being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs and money laundering offences.

As well as the lengthy prison sentences, both Charlie Savage and Shay Girvan will be subject to proceeds of crime orders where their assets will be subject to confiscation over the coming months.
