...haven't lived in Bournemouth since 1994, still do miss the place but some areas have seen a sad decline due to the economy, poor planning, and general neglect.
That said most towns have been hit by brexit, business closures,the poverty trap catching more of society, and some eccentric council ownership...and now Covid has delivered a sort of kick in the teeth for struggling town centres.
The area is still one of outstanding beauty with amazing coastline...just think how things might have been if serious money hadn't been spunked on IMAX...Surf Reefs..and this latest 'Shard' copy seems a strange one too?
