Traders near the Dolphin Centre in Poole are experiencing significant losses due to ongoing lift issues at the nearby multi-storey car park, with five of six lifts currently out of order. Business owners report a sharp decline in foot traffic, especially among wheelchair users and older visitors, with some experiencing a drop of up to 70%. They say the situation is worse than during the COVID pandemic, and some may soon face difficult choices if it persists. BCP Council acknowledges the issue and is working on repairs, while offering alternative access options like ground floor parking and ramps.
