  I enjoy the great music events they hold and popping in for a drink and food. It’s a great asset to BCP!

  I just don’t want it to be another crappy generic ‘rockwater’ this place is supporting our community.

  I love going for coffee with my dog and daughters. We go Xmas day too for a swim. We will miss this family time. I had my 50th birthday party on the bus. It was fantastic.

  It’s what Bournemouth needs, it’s proven to work why change! BCP you have ruined & taken away the very heart of Bournemouth ! Just stop!! With internal audit showing your failings, debt & borrowing at astronomical levels & still you bulldoze on destroyed public respect & support. It’s crazy to say that a council has such Narcissistic traits! Give the new tender another area to start afresh, we’ve enough empty prom! Leave sobo beach as it is!

  Just a brilliant community with so many people that rely upon it for their betterment of their mental health and bring together of like minded people. BCP needs to see past just monetary value and actually care about its constituents that use the SOBO

  There's an old saying - "If it ain't broke don't fix it" - SOBO beach serves the local community and does exactly what we need at this location.

  The current provider has established a strong community

  It is a community, inclusive and simply incredible. You cannot replace it, and if you take it away, I could never return as it was. It is a legacy that belongs to the people. BCP pay attention, we all know you just want more money, we know you don't care, we know you will disregard this petition, but mark my words, whatever you choose to replace sobo will fail. For once do something right and let the people have their place.

  It’s lovely beach bar, with great music, dog friendly, lively place which brought up local communities and families together. They also do lots of workshops, and is awesome

  Sobo is a lifeline for local people, please don't take this away from us just for your pocket to be better lined.

  SOBO Beach has a relaxing, vibe and is an enjoyable, friendly and safe place to enjoy food and dronks in a beautiful setting. It could lose its appeal under new ownets who would have to increase prices to make a return on their investment. It isn't broken, so it doesn't need fixing - leave it as it is, benefiting the local community.
