In the press: Purcell wins go ahead to restore Madeira Terrace

7 November 2022

Brighton & Hove City Council has given Purcell the go-ahead to restore 30 of the 151 Victorian arches forming the Grade II-listed Madeira Terrace on Brighton seafront.

Our plans to restore and revitalise Brighton’s seafront promenade - opening up direct access to the waterfront along the eastern foreshore - have been approved by the local council.

Work on the restoration of Brighton's Madeira Terrace will begin later next year following the approval: repair work on the eastern end of the 865-m long structure will be the first to start, coming alongside a new lift tower to improve access between the upper and lower levels of the promenade, which will get new seating and planting areas.

'The revitalisation of Madeira Terrace is one of the most significant projects on which the council has embarked for a long time. The successful regeneration of the Madeira Terrace will further re-enliven the eastern end of the seafront, with featured attractions and staged events appealing to residents and visitors alike.'

— Brighton & Hove City Council leader Phelim MacCafferty
