I agree that a visitor centre/cafe would be a great addition to the common but I think the current building would be the worst possible home for it. A wooden, one story building - more like the one at the Nature Discovery Centre - would be much more appropriate.

I thought it was wonderful when the common was returned to being a common. We have an everlasting monument to its former deadly purpose - the cruise missile bunkers - we don't need this ugly, tacky and I expect expensive-to-maintain building as well. If any public money is spent it should go on providing a decent car park at that location, the current one must kill a few car suspensions ever year.
