The incident follows an afternoon of lift chaos two weeks ago when nine people were rescued from broken lifts at two town centre car parks.

Five people were trapped for more than an hour in a lift in Blackhorse Way before crews rescued a further four from a lift at Swan Walk.

The lifts were out of action for several days whilst repairs were carried out.
