Westway Community Transport (formerly Kensington and Chelsea Community Transport) was set up in 1991 to provide safe, affordable and accessible transport to community groups, voluntary organisations and individuals living or working in the Royal Borough.
They have a large fleet of minibuses for local Group Transport and run a Community Car Scheme and Shopper services for local people who find public transport difficult to use. Their bigBus service offers a 41-seater accessible coach complete with driver. Over 500 local groups are registered as members of Westway CT.
Westway Community Transport, in partnership with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the Royal Parks, are now running a Mobile Scooter Loan Scheme. A fleet of ten Mobility Scooters are available and can be booked in advance by members of the scheme.
If you’re over 14 years of age and find it difficult to get 'Out and About' they can help.
Anyone young or old, that has a problem walking or a mobility issue (temporary or permanent) that lives in the Royal Borough or visits the borough can become a member of the scheme. All new members will need to register and pay an annual registration fee, then will be given full training on how to operate the Scooters.
The scheme is mobile, operated from a truck that will be parked at various locations across the borough. Their prime location is at Queen's Gate, off Kensington Gore, near The Albert Memorial.
Arrangements can be made for you to collect a Scooter from Westway Community Transport, 240 Acklam Road, W10 5YG (near Portobello Rd). If this location is more convenient you must make prior arrangements, so that the Scooter is available.
Long term hire of a Scooter may be possible, please telephone: 020 8960 8774.
