HC Deb 20 November 1956 vol 560 c62W
26. Mr. Gibson

asked the Minister of Works what progress has been made in improving the appearance of the deep shelters in the Clapham area; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Buchan-Hepburn

Work has been done at the Avenue entrance at Clapham South, as a trial scheme for the other shelters.

The air "trunking" has been removed and the height of the ventilation shaft reduced from 30 ft. to 12 ft. The fences have been taken away and the grass of the common will be extended up to the buildings. I am now considering whether the general appearance of the shelter will be improved by colour wash.
