Five lifts at the Dolphin Centre car park in Poole remain out of order, leading to significant declines in foot traffic for local businesses. Shop owners like Simon Stockdale report a 70% decrease in wheelchair users and overall customer footfall, with fellow business owners noting declines between 30-60%. Owners express frustration at the lack of action from BCP Council, which they believe shows a disregard for the community. The council acknowledges the issues and suggests alternative access routes, but local businesses emphasize the urgent need for working lifts to restore customer access and support.
