Herne Bay pierHow to restore piers to their former Victorian glory is just one of the guides we will be writing about for this year’s Restoration programme.

Action Network has joined forces with the team behind Restoration, which begins on BBC2 next month.

We will be offering useful tips and guides on how to restore buildings for TV viewers and our users.

Restoring piers has been a popular theme on Action Network. After Pete Revell launched a campaign to re-build Herne Bay pier in his home town, we interviewed him for a My Story feature.

There has also been a variety of campaigns and stories on our restoring buildings issue page, from preserving a former airfield control tower, to saving an art-deco cinema.

A campaign to bring back the sounds of the bells in a local church even received media attention from the local BBC radio station.

We’d like to read more restoration stories from people. So if you’re campaigning to save a building or have experiences on how to go about it, why not add your story to our restoring buildings page?
