THE lift at Newton Abbot’s multi-storey car park should be working again come the end of the month, Teignbridge District Council (TDC) have said.

The essential modernisation work to replace the lift at the Sherbourne Road car park has taken longer than TDC anticipated.

The lift will remain out of use while final repairs and safety checks take place, TDC says.

Work will continue over the next two weeks, with the council saying that, subject to final testing, the lift should be back in use by Friday, March 28.

‘Please keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates’ TDC said.

The work to the lift began in January.

The reliability, or, rather, lack thereof, of the lift has long been a source of complaint among car park users.
