Kept in the vehicle is a big red folder, this contains :-
The Journey log sheet, (fill in at start and end of your journey).
Fault reporting sheet (fill in as required), please contact the person (or Office), on the front of
the folder if it has to be attended to before the next service.
Copy of Insurance and Green Flag rescue, we have the full complete cover.
Suggested journey contributions and envelopes for same, for handing into the office.
Blue Badge parking.

Please leave the vehicle with at least a half tank of petrol, ready for the next journey.

As mentioned earlier there is an electric winch to make it easier on the wheelchair incoming
and exiting. Some drivers don't use it but I always do as it helps my back, and it can certainly
act as a third hand / brake.

For the wheelchair passenger there are 5 securing straps, a conventional across the chest
seat belt, two inertia belts that attach to the front of the wheelchair, and two rear straps that attach t
o the rear of the wheelchair. The winch rope also acts as another ''strap''. We also
set the wheelchairs brakes to 'on'.

There are two front seats (including the driver's) and one slim rear seat, enabling enough
room for wider the wheelchair.

If you would like to have a trial run before committing yourself further to CHAIN, please
contact the office and they will be delighted to arrange it for you.
