Banbridge residents are celebrating the installation of a new Acorn Stair Lift, which is helping to improve accessibility and comfort in the town. The lift, which is designed to make climbing stairs easier, has been installed at a number of locations throughout the town, including both public and private buildings.
The Acorn Stair Lift is a motorized device that allows people with limited mobility to access areas of their buildings that would otherwise be inaccessible. It is designed to be easy to use, with a simple hand-held controller that can be used to move up and down the stairs. The lift is also equipped with a swivel chair, allowing the user to turn around at the top and bottom of the stairs, and a safety belt for added security.
The installation of the lift has been welcomed by the local community, who have been quick to praise the improved accessibility it provides. Banbridge Town Mayor, Cllr. David Simpson, said: “The Acorn Stair Lift is a great addition to our town, allowing people with limited mobility to access areas of their buildings that would otherwise be inaccessible. We’re delighted to see the lift being used in Banbridge and are proud to be able to offer this service to our residents.”
The lift is also providing comfort to residents of the town, who can now access their homes more easily. One resident, Mary, said: “I have reduced mobility and find it difficult to climb the stairs at home. The Acorn Stair Lift has made a huge difference to my life – it’s so much easier to get around now. I would never have been able to manage without it.”
The installation of the Acorn Stair Lift in Banbridge has been a huge success, and is just one example of the town’s commitment to improving accessibility and comfort for its residents. With more and more people in Northern Ireland turning to stair lifts to make life easier, this installation is sure to be a welcome addition to the town.
