Council speaks out over 'pathetic' Horsham lift closures

This follows reports last week that both the lifts were out of order during 'essential maintenance'.

The work left shoppers facing a climb up several flights which prompted concern for vulnerable members of the community.

A Horsham District Council spokesperson said: "We are now pleased to confirm that one lift is fully operational."

The other lift however remains closed as engineers work to locate the mystery issue.

The spokesperson added: "A full investigation is being carried out on the second lift to determine the problem with it ."

"The Council apologises for the inconvenience caused by the breakdown of the lifts."
