As time has gone by we have learned of a few helpful filling stations missed by the 1994 survey. But worse yet, many service garages are ceasing to sell fuel because they can't compete on price. Service garages are seldom on main through routes but they have always been the likliest places to get help at the pumps because there is usually a mechanic around the place who can be summoned on the tannoy or whatever to do the job. The unique value of our system is that we can direct travellers to these back-street garages which, if they are strangers to the district, they would otherwise never see. It has become a matter of urgency to update our database.
Every disabled driver can help.
Right now we haven't got enough cash to post questionnaires to the 1,059 filling stations still on our lists.
