The council is currently exploring how to fund a project that would also need to pay for maintaining the Madeira Terraces in good condition into the next century.
As a listed structure any changes would need the consent of English Heritage. We are planning to report back in the summer on what funding opportunities may be available for Madeira Terraces and how the council is supporting the wider regeneration of the seafront.
I for one wish to see at least three quotations for the restoration works and from specialist wrought iron firms in conjunction with structural engineers. I just don't buy the £30m estimate. Presumably this is is an exaggeration to win more grants. I think the council should have a legal duty to uphold this city's heritage or force the owners of such to do so.
