Restoration of the Leas Lift – The Folkestone Leas Lift Company CIC was set up in 2018 with the sole purpose of getting the Leas Lift back up and running, with a stable and secure financial future. The entire project cost of £1M will be sought from donations, Government, business and from grant making trusts. Approximately £600K will be spent on engineering, with £148K of this to replace the braking system. The building is due to be added to an at risk register. The Board has identified a suitable solution to the braking system and work is due to start in April of this year.
