Customer wheelchairs at a local supermarket have been stolen leaving shoppers who need require them without the usual access to the facility.

Sainsbury's in Beaconsfield offers wheelchairs to customers who need them to make their shopping experience easier.

A spokesperson for the supermarket chain said the store is working on replacing the wheelchairs.

Shoppers who require a wheelchair have instead been bringing their own but this means there is less space in their car to load their items.

A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “ Our Beaconsfield store has a wheelchair and a mobility scooter available for those that need it.

"We are working hard to provide another wheelchair which will be available soon.

"We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.”
