Difficult access? It’s no problem
Frank Holland worked for
Carrington Power Station for
almost 30 years, he was also a
local councillor for Trafford
Borough Council.
Frank has poor mobility following a heart attack and has high blood pressure, diabetes and emphysema.
Frank needed an electric powered vehicle and after being assessed by the occupational therapist for the EPV, it was recommended that a porch be built, with electric power points, so that the vehicle could be housed.
The porch was the subject of a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) and included lift access to the front door.
The process was proving to be rather slow, so the local Regional Welfare Officer helped put together the case to the local authority to speed up the DFG application.
The EEIBA was pleased to help Frank with financial assistance towards the provision of his Electric Powered Vehicle.
