Lift Fixed After 116 Days | London News

After 116 days without a working lift, residents at Argenta House are celebrating “Independence Day” — finally able to leave their flats and reconnect with neighbors. The lift’s full modernization delayed repairs, but residents say their urgent needs — especially for those with mobility issues — were ignored. Daily life ground to a halt: grocery runs vanished, hospital visits were canceled, and no council workers checked in. While engineers helped with shopping, the council’s lack of communication and refusal to offer compensation fueled anger. Camden Council apologized, citing tailored support and alternative housing, but residents feel they were left stranded and unsupported for far too long.
