Jamie Robertson says he is unable to leave his second-floor flat after the lift broke on Saturday.

A wheelchair user has described being "trapped in my own home" for almost a week due to a lift being out of action.

Mr Robertson said it has been out of action since Saturday when another resident was trapped and had to be rescued, which left the doors damaged in the process. "This feels like a re-run of lockdown - I feel powerless. I've been isolated from friends and family. It's just been awful," he said. While food has been brought up to his flat, he has not been able to leave for his job at the University of Reading Students' Union."I'm trying to raise awareness for people with pushchairs or mobility issues - this isn't acceptable for anyone.
