Labour candidates demand action over the neglect of the Aquarium terraces

Labour’s Council candidates for Queen’s Park Ward in next year’s Brighton and Hove Council elections, Karen Barford, Dan Chapman and Adrian Morris are demanding answers over the future of the Aquarium Terraces site on Madeira Drive.

This is in the heart of a major area for tourists and has become a public eyesore with units being left empty, windows broken and areas boarded up.

Adrian, will be presenting a question to the Economic Development & Culture Committee on Thursday (June 19).

He said: “With the summer holidays fast approaching we need to see the Aquarium terraces site cleaned up and sorted out. So residents and tourists, who come to the city, can enjoy the area surrounding the pier.

“Last year tourists were forced to see rubbish piled along the streets due to the Green Councils disastrous handling of the bin strike. Business and residents should not pay the price for the Green Council’s mishandling of the sea front and I hope my question on Thursday will force action.”
