In light of the latest delays to the restoration of Madeira Terrace, Does the council believe that Madeira Drives' primary purpose is that of a car park and should lost revenue from spaces be allowed to delay the redevelopment of the Terrace any further? asks Alan Tower
The council is committed to Madeira Terraces says @MartinOsborne_ A public consultation took place late last year and is moving forward. Parking revenue is vital to the council's funding and worth £10million for bus services. #LDreporter#Brighton#Hove
Parking is being removed but it is a long process says @MartinOsborne_ A full update is going to the Madeira Terrace advisory panel. Getting rid of parking spaces would go to Environment, Transport and Sustainability Committee #LDreporter#Brighton#Hove
For Alan Tower @bridgetbythesea says highways is in dispute with major projects over how much space is taken up with equipment. Is there a date when the restoration will start? #LDreporter#Brighton#Hove
