The Minister for Disabled People and MP for Swindon North, Justin Tominson, today presented the keys of a new Motability Scheme car to his constituent Madge Trinder.

 

 

The presentation took place at Hyundai dealership Pebley Beach in Paddington Drive.

 
Despite Madge, 76, having arthritis in one one shoulder and two hip replacements , she enjoys an active life in the community, and sees her new car as essential to remain mobile.

 

She collected the keys of a Hyundai i10 that she will lease for three years.

 

“The Motability Scheme is marvellous," Madge said, who also received a bunch of flowers from Pebley Beach to mark the occasion.

 

"Using my Disability Living Allowance to lease a new car on the Scheme is so much easier, as it means I can travel safely and in comfort. I enjoy being independent and Motability plays a big part in supporting me with this.

“My new car is a dream to drive. It has automatic transmission with power steering, which is wonderful as I sometimes have difficulty moving my arms.”

 

 

Justin Tomlinson MP said: “I am delighted to have presented Madge with the keys to her new Motability Scheme vehicle here in my constituency. As Minister for Disabled People I understand the importance of the Motability Scheme across the UK, so it’s fantastic to see first-hand how the Scheme supports those here in Swindon.”
