Elderly Edinburgh residents were left stuck in their homes over Christmas as a result of broken lifts, councillors have been told.
Desperate inhabitants of a Joppa high rise said they have constantly reached out to the council for help over the last two months with no luck.
Declaring a "state of emergency" over the situation at a City Chambers meeting this week, they said some residents were unable to see their families over the festive period with many unable to receive food deliveries and visits from carers.
