NEW LIFT FOR BRIGG'S ANGEL?

The lift at Brigg’s Angel Suite - used to take people from floor to floor - is getting old and it seems a replacement will be required in the not too distant future.
An update was given to the Town Council’s property and services committee, which oversees the community venue.
A lift engineer’s inspection report recommended it should be replaced. Given the age of the device, it's proving very difficult to find spares.
It was agreed to get a group of councillors to consider the issue and report to the September meeting of the Town Council.
If a new lift is sanctioned, quotes will be obtained and the style of device considered.
The lift links the basement of the Suite, which houses the Lounge, the bar area and the Town Council Offices, with the higher level former Ballroom, where most events are held. Stairs are also in place.
At Wednesday’s meeting, the property and services committee agreed to replace a swing fire door between the Angel Suite kitchen and ballroom.

Can't be that old, Scribs...and it's not in that frequent use...most folks use the stairs.
But if the engineers say it needs replacing then that's putting the Council into a corner.
If it was my lift, I would get a second opinion, before any possible replacement was considered.
