The Leas Lift is a grade II* listed funicular railway that carries passengers between the seafront and the promenade in Folkestone, Kent.

[13] The renovation involved replacing the mechanical and electrical wiring and ensuring that all necessary safety standards in the two cars, the control systems and stations, were met.

Additionally, the corroded steelwork support structures within the buried water storage tanks, which were leaking, were inspected and replaced.

A new charity, the Folkestone Leas Lift Company (FLLC) CIO was set up and with funding from the Radnor Estate and the Roger De Haan Charitable Trust.

The FLLC's aim is to raise funds to help repair the lift, and to create and implement a sustainable long-term plan for its operation.
