Rotterdam politics: rent emergency lift in case of lift failure
It's unthinkable that we could be stuck in our own apartment for a long time should the lift malfunctions. Yet it happens that residents are confined to their homes for a week or even longer. Politicians are now also speaking out about the importance of deploying a temporary lift in the event of a lift breakdown. Leefbaar Rotterdam pleads for the city council to encourage housing corporations to hire a temporary lift.
Without a temporary lift, residents with a disability have nowhere to go. Not only residents with a mobility restriction, but also residents with less visible ailments. Rijnmond.nl quotes the story of a resident with a heart rhythm disorder. She can still leave the house without a lift, but she can no longer climb the stairs. She also tells of a resident in her 90s who has been unable to leave her home for almost three weeks. Situations like this show how important indoor mobility is.
