A Second World War bunker in Alderney is being transformed into a new 'information point.'

The fortification opposite the Braye Beach Hotel and the First and Last, will become accessible to visitors with displays telling people of its history.

The bunker had previously become a dumping ground for rubbish however since Christmas the States Public Works team have been cleaning the site.

Visit Alderney who are helping to clean up the artillery shelter, are calling on volunteers with a clean up today.

Work is needed to build a retaining fence around the bunker which will help divert rain water. Volunteers will also be helping in making the inside safe for visitors.

Visit Alderney are working with the Alderney Society and the Alderney Wildlife Trust on the project.

School children are going down to the site to help paint inside and the hope is for the bunker to be open to public by Easter.
