£1.1 million enough to fix the lifts?

The lift's been out of action for ages now. I saw the widow from upstairs who recently bought a bed but has had to cancel its delivery twice. In the smaller lift on the way to school my son and I managed to cram in with the Kosovan mum, her two boys and her baby in the buggy.
All our boys were late. Kosovan mum had waited 10 minutes for the lift. (That wasn't our excuse today... oh you know what it's like: "What do you mean you haven't got your trainers on? We have to leave! NOW!"

Yes, so they are selling the council flats to pay for the refurbishment of existing properties. Here at Papier Mache Towers we've been told that nothing can be done about the lifts as the parts are so old they are irreplacable. So install new ones! No cash for that? What do you mean?
