Fix our Lifts

It’s time to end the gamble on whether the lift works — fix them now

Lifts across Islington Council housing estates are breaking down far too often. Some lifts are old and may need replacing—but even lifts that are less than 10 years old are repeatedly failing. For many residents, it has become a lottery whether the lift will work on any given day.

This is not acceptable. Reliable lifts are essential for residents with disabilities, older people, parents with buggies, and anyone who cannot easily use stairs. Constant breakdowns affect daily life, safety, and access to our homes.

We are calling on Islington Council to take urgent action to keep our lifts working.

Residents deserve safe, reliable lifts—not repeated failures and poor-quality repairs.

The Liberal Democrats are calling for urgent action to end the lift lottery and keep lifts working across our estates.
