Walsall residents sick of stairs and increasingly isolated with lift that's been broken since April
Worn-out pensioners are "fed up to the back teeth" after waiting in vain for their tower block lift to be fixed since spring.
Residents at six-storey Shannon's View House, Walsall, claim their "lifeline" elevator has been broken since April.
Those on the top floor face a back-breaking 12 flights of stairs to get home and residents claim they are now missing out on medication because delivery drivers refuse to leave the lobby.
Beryl Lawrence has "begged" the owners of the flat, GreenSquareAccord, to fix the lift.
The 65-year-old told the Express & Star: "I just can't take anymore of this. There are all sorts in these flats, pensioners, single mothers and people with disability problems and we all rely on the lifts.
"Now I am missing out on my medication because the chemist's delivery drivers will not walk up the stairs because they claim their bikes will be stolen.
