A VITAL charity for disabled shoppers in Rhyl could close within weeks.
Shopmobility, which provides scooter hire for disabled shoppers at a discounted rate, is facing debts of £26,000 after the number of users plummeted.
Despite having more than 15,000 registered customers throughout Denbighshire, only ten people have used the shop, located next to the Dudley Arms, since the start of January when roadworks restricted access.
Mark Webster, volunteer coordinator at Shopmobility, said many customers need to be dropped off outside the shop in a car and transferred straight into scooters.
He said: "People are finding it difficult to get to the shop. The more people who come through the door helps us make money to keep helping people.
"We are looking to maybe being able to survive until the end of February. Every penny that comes in will go to pay bills. A lot of people have said they would not be able to get out if we close. Our customers have said it would have an impact on their independence."
Mr Webster said work on the town's bus station over the past year cut the number of people from outside Rhyl using the service.
Ian Allen, 60, of Nursery Close, Prestatyn suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, he said since Blue Badge parking in the High Street was removed in favour of loading bays, disabled access to the town is more difficult.
He said: "Shopmobility is important to me, without it I cannot get round Rhyl at all. It is forcing people to shop elsewhere. Going there at the moment is like taking part in the Krypton Factor.
"It is a vital service for disabled people. I have had to go to Flint to shop, it is crazy."
A spokesman for Denbighshire County Council said: "The council is creating a new footway which passes by the Shopmobility building and this work is scheduled to come to an end in March.
"Pedestrian access has been maintained throughout the period of works and anyone needing to get to the shop by car can contact a council number and staff will come and remove traffic cones, to allow access.
"This system seems to be working well and people are using it. Whilst we are naturally sorry about any inconvenience, we have tried our best to keep disruption to a minimum."
