The latest confirmed development in the accessible stair lift is that the responsible board publishes two options with a cost and end date for each. The update comes from the lift between Market Lane and Upper Court; the existing arrangement remains in force until the board closes this window.
Oli Fen, public access inspector, confirmed 59 service hours when both landings are open in the file. The previous window recorded 58; the totals do not settle whether the lift is a reliable route when a resident cannot hear the upper signal.
The unresolved point is specific: The maintenance log marks the lift open. Residents say an unconfirmed arrival is not safe access. No final outcome has been posted before the scheduled decision.
Residents and staff continue under the current schedule while the review is open.
NEXT UPDATE: The Year fifth, market fall window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The inspector will test a signal at both landings with the lift under load. A fresh window will use a new date and source record.
