Mobility scooter stores improve quality of living for elderly residents.

Stonewater came into being through the merge of Jephson and Raglan Housing Associations, making it one of the UK’s most significant social housing providers, with over 30,000 homes under management, offering good quality, affordable housing to people whose needs are not met on the open market and a vision for everyone to have the opportunity to have a place they call home. metroSTOR were asked in 2013 to assist Raglan with the

Rebranding Programme for their Retirement Living schemes and this has continued throughout the merge with metroSTOR to date having been involved with the provision of mobility scooter charging stations on over ten different schemes across the UK.

The project scope has now increased to cover everything from the preparation and submission of planning applications through to a snag-free project hand-over, including all DDA access works and electrical connections.

“We have been using metroSTOR charging stations on our sheltered schemes at Stonewater for two years now; we chose the units originally because the scalable concept allowed us to reduce costs by simply dropping in the required number of attractively-styled, robust modules to each scheme rather than designing a bespoke solution time after time.  I am pleased to report that the units are performing very well and we have been particularly impressed with the high level of service given by metroSTOR with their comprehensive installation package.” Glenn Loftus, Stock Improvement Project Manager at Stonewater
