Campaigners fighting to restore the crumbling arches on Madeira Terrace have launched an online petition urging the council to reconsider their plans for the promenade.

The petition suggests that rather than using crowdfunded cash to renovate three of the arches at the western end of the terrace, close to Palace Pier, it would make more sense to restore ones that are closer to Concorde 2.

Jax Atkins, who has been striving to save Madeira Terrace for a number of years, said: “We really need this petition to make people listen to us, and encourage other people to join in [the campaign] because it feels like we’re being ignored.”
