A disabled man has been 'imprisoned' in his own home for almost a week due to a broken lift. Hesham Gharib says the lift up to his flat at Mazarin House, above The Rock shopping centre in Bury, broke down last Friday (May 5).

It is the second time in just over a month it has broken. On the last occasion in early April, the 59-year-old was left stranded in his fourth floor flat for two weeks.

"I felt like I was trapped in my own home.

However, it broke again last week. Residential Management Group (RMG) - which manages the block of flats - said the parts needed to repair the lift are due tomorrow (Friday).
