Tracy Beverley , Senior Project Manager , Transport Projects and Engineering Team , at Brighton & Hove City Council , commented : ‘ It ’ s been great to work with Untitled Practice during this fantastic project to transform Valley Gardens . Their landscape expertise has helped us to build a space which can be enjoyed by our residents and visitors for years to come . Even during lockdown , work was able to continue to open up new gardens , wider footpaths and cycle routes . We ’ re now looking ahead to the final part of the corridor which will connect the space to the seafront .”
Funding for the project was provided by the Department for Transport , through the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership . Jonathan Sharrock , Chief Executive at Coast to Capital , commented : “ Our vision at Coast to Capital is to build our economy back stronger , smarter and greener , Valley Gardens 1 & 2 is a fantastic example of how our towns and cities can be enhanced with sustainability in mind . I look forward to seeing developments with the next steps of the project .”
