Mobi Mats have been unveiled at the beach

Colchester Beach in Essex is a bit more accessible.

The town has revealed 'mobi mats' which are designed to provide beach access for wheelchairs, strollers and pedestrians with mobility issues.

The mats are rollout semi-rigid surfaces making beach access easier, instead of walking through the sand.

The Watsa family donated the mats in memory of David Watsa, who was a long-time and dedicated member of the Colchester Harbour Comittee.
