The restoration of Folkestone’s Leas Lift is one step closer with Apex Contractors Limited's appointment as the principal contractor. Apex will now work alongside the Leas Lift project team to prepare the site for construction! "ACME is delighted that work on the Leas Lift restoration project will soon begin on site, following the appointment of contractor Apex. We will continue our work leading the design team, initially coordinating the design from Apex's specialist subcontractors in parallel with site preparation before construction begins in earnest in early 2025." Mark Broom, Associate Director- ACME Folkestone has a rich history and numerous tourist attractions, including the Victoria Pier, the bathhouse, switchback roller coasters, and funicular railways that connected the high street along the cliff top to the seafront. The Leas Lift, constructed in 1885 for the Folkestone Lift Company, is one of eight water-balanced cliff lifts remaining nationally. It achieved Grade II listing in 1989 and was upgraded to Grade II* in 2016. The campaign to save the Grade II* Listed at risk Leas Lift – a nationally significant heritage asset – began in 2018 when volunteers came together to save the lift and ensure its future. ACME's scheme restores and improves accessibility to the lift and creates an extension to the lower station, providing a new café and WC facilities. This is an important part of the business and audience development plans to build a sustainable future for the heritage asset to support its future maintenance. The extension's design restores a sense of the original symmetry and ensures it is subservient to the Leas Lift to maintain its visual primacy. https://lnkd.in/eDuXc3fi The National Lottery Heritage Fund Folkestone & Hythe District Council TEAM: Client: Leas Lift CIO Architecture & BRPD: ACME Project Manager: AtkinsRéalis QS: b&m | Certified B Corp Planning Consultant: DHA M&E Engineering: RCDC Civil & Structural Engineering: Rapid Consulting Heritage Architect: Malcolm Fryer Architects Heritage Consultant: Heritage Architecture Ltd Interpretation and Activity Planner: Alix Slater Consultancy & Training Ltd.

ACME is working with Network Rail Property to bring forward new proposals for Liverpool Street Station. The new scheme is based on a thorough understanding of the operational needs of the station and its historic significance. The original 1864 station and its 1991 reconfiguration are remarkable for their cathedral-like concourse and train shed, and the new concourse roof extends this language into the 21st century. This is a transport-led scheme promoted by Network Rail Property focussed on providing big improvements to the everyday experience for passengers, including: - Increasing the size of the concourse to ease congestion   - Step-free access across the station and London Underground  - Delivering 7 new lifts to make Network Rail platforms and the London Underground more accessible.   - Increasing the number of escalators from 4 to 8 to enable easier access to the trains   - More ticket barriers to reduce queuing  - New toilets, including family facilities on all levels of the station.  - New landmark entrances on Liverpool Street, Bishopsgate and Exchange Square.  - Additional waiting lounges   - Better signage throughout, making the busses easier to find.  - More cycle storage with direct access to platforms  - More space for passengers inside the station - A greater variety of cafes, restaurants and shops Network Rail will be consulting on the changes with passengers, local businesses, heritage groups and elected representatives and intend to submit a planning application within the next few months.
