  • My partner has trouble with any of the cliffs or steep hills that are usually involved with getting down to the beach, Sobo is close enough to an area where we can get down to the promenade that we can enjoy an accessible beach front venue with the dog. It is literally the only place nearby we really enjoy going and it would be a huge blow to us to lose. We enjoy the laid back atmosphere, the community aspect and the whole vibe of the place.

  • We have lived in Southbourne for over 25 years and have seen it grow into a vibrant and thriving community. Sobo Beach is a big part of what makes Southbourne great and it would be a terrible shame for it to disappear.

  • An amazing array of activities; place to just chill and relax and meet new people. One of Bournemouth’s brightest spots

  • In Russia,Councils can act with impunity and refuse to extend succesful leases. Fortunately for us, in Bournemouth BCP has the public, a legal requirement for transparency and the Freedom of Information requests to contend with.
