MODERNISATION work to the lift at Newton Abbot’s multi-storey car park will be completed this week, Teignbridge District Council (TDC) has said.

Work to replace the lift at the multi-storey car park on Sherborne Road is due to be completed by Friday, April 10.

The work to the lift began in January, and the council had hoped to have it up and running again by March.

‘The work has taken longer than anticipated due to unforeseen additional work, so the lift will remain out of use while final repairs and safety checks take place’ a spokesperson for TDC said.

‘We are sorry for any inconvenience caused while this essential modernisation work has been taking place’ the spokesperson added.
