Residents were told it was to be a lengthy wait to get the lift repaired until the Paisley Daily Express intervened.
Pensioners have been trapped in their homes for over a fortnight after a broken lift in a Paisley high-rise left many housebound.

There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.“It’s only a matter of time before one of the more infirm tenants comes a cropper going down stairs carrying a walking frame.” Although a second lift to the even-numbered floors was working, Brian said officials at the council failed to acknowledge that one set of steep concrete steps was still dangerous for many.
Local councillor Eddie Devine echoed the residents’ concerns, and said it was too often that the lift was out of order.
