Unusable Lift: 3-Day Opening, 18-Month Wait
Update: 2025-12-06
Description
A new Metrolink station lift, built alongside a skyscraper, opened for just three days during the Conservative Party Conference. Despite being intended to improve access to a busy tram stop, the lift remained closed for eighteen months due to a lack of agreement on maintenance and management. Locals expressed frustration as homeless individuals used the lifts entrance, and it was left unlocked but inaccessible. A resolution is now expected with Salboy, the developer, set to take responsibility for the lifts maintenance, allowing it to open for regular use.
