Search the Public Notice PortalA councillor has proposed that the seafront’s historic arches be re-imagined to make the seafront more ‘commercial’.
Twenty-eight of the arches between the Royal Crescent steps and Concorde 2 in Madeira Drive, Brighton are currently undergoing repairs and reconstruction due to structural deterioration.
The Madeira Terrace restoration project, as it has been called, has been given investment from various establishments including a £750,000 boost from Historic England.
Whilst discussing the future plans for the newly announced seafront development board, Councillor Jacob Taylor, deputy chairman of the board, proposed that the Madeira Terrace area could be revitalised by “moving the arches forward” and creating more space underneath.
He told The Argus: “if you move the arches forward, you could put a glass-fronted unit on the front that could be used to create space for an art gallery, a shop, a café, or even a tourist information hub.
“We've seen that it works in placed like London under railway arches, or even if you go and look at King's Cross station”.

Brighton and Hove City Council revealed in February that the first phase of restoration of the Madeira Terrace is on track to be completed by summer 2026.
The Grade II listed 865m-long covered terrace and walkway, built between 1890 and 1897, is thought to be the longest continuous cast-iron structure in Britain, possibly the world.
The project also includes the installation of a new lift, which started last week, and a full replacement of the upper deck.
The terrace was closed to the public in 2012 due the structure deteriorating and becoming unsafe due to exposure to the elements.
