The Council Strikes Back –

Return of the Zimmer

Ah I can see it now Yoda is teaching young Luke how to walk after a bout in hospital.

“Young Luke, learn to walk again you can.”

While Luke, who isn’t so young anymore tries valiantly to walk with the aid of Falkirk council’s action aid called the May the Force be with You Zimmer frame.

“Stroke last month you had.” Luke grits his dentures and fires up the Jedi spirit.

“Back to normal very soon and fit as a fiddle, you will be.  Herh herh herh.” Thanks Yoda.

The Council Awakens

The council in Fife has offered an amnesty on Zimmer frames as social services struggle to meet budgets. Thousands of disability devices are never returned when residents cease to need them. These all cost the locals loads of money.

Here Today Not Returned Tomorrow

Did you know that across our nation there are hundreds of thousands of unreturned aids? In Fife alone there are more than 160,000 mobility aids that were never returned and just sit there a reminder of ill health? And there is a reason. People don’t realise how expensive these aids are. A Zimmer costs £90, a loo seat for disability £25 and a trolley for eating off, £50. Nobody realises they can easily be returned. It’s one of those circular problems. Now in Fife you can return them anonymously. The strategy has already seen an 8% rise in returns of mobility aids saving the council, well thousands, at time when budgets are under pressure.  

A New Hope

Well if your budget is under pressure we have come to your aid. We have end of line offers that are framed to meet your needs. So grab a bargain while stocks last.  Yeesssssss! And when  like Yoda you are 900 years old realise you must the value of an offer.

With you may the force be. Thanks again Yoda.
