Scenes at the historic Madeira Drive in Brighton. The famous arches down on the seafront road have begun to collapse forcing businesses out of their premesis and the public can no longer go near them. The deterioration of Madeira Drive’s terraces could damage its ability to host major events, councillors have said. Parts of the terraces were fenced off earlier this summer but recent structural surveys revealed the situation is much more serious with parts of bays one to five now beyond repair and in danger of collapse. Brighton and Hove City Council said the severity of the situation had forced them to take immediate action to ensure the area is safe for tenants and the public with piecemeal repairs to the structure no longer viable. The future of Madeira Drive hangs in the balance.
