Following a protracted period of debate, the local authority takes action to remove the staircase access to the Pavilion’s raised deck level. As a measure aimed at further dissuading people from gaining access the council removes the balustrades from the deck and fills it with soil and plants.
It is hoped this measure will also ‘soften’ the appearance of the Pavilion. Victor Pasmore objects to the more radical proposal of filling in sections of the Pavilion’s internal spaces on the grounds that this action would be irreversible.
