It’s a place that truly brings people together, a place for being active as well as chilling and relaxing, it’s unique and we love it.

It's an important part of our community, supporting local people, local causes, the environment and much more. It should be a renewed lease and approval to make this existing business even better and improve the toilet facilities.

I love an early morning walk on a Sunday for a coffee and the beach vibes in the summer with Sunday Sessions is like no other in BCP. Miami Beach vibes 👌🏻

It’s a key destination in the area, providing community, entertainment and great food at good prices. Its unique and a hub for all locals and tourists alike It will be a travesty if it closes

This is an incredibly valuable place for people in the community to come together. People of all ages and from all.walls of life. BCP wake up to what people really need - money isn't everything!! Think of your residents for once and stop being greedy!!

I swim here very often, meet up with friends, never feel lonely at this venue. It has helped me through some hard times. It would be a devastating blow to the community.

I walk the sea front and then connect with others here. Also, swim and then eat breakfast here with a friend..

It's genuinely lovely, vibrant, safe, interesting, lively, warm, creative, and unique place.. a true community venue where i feel at home, relaxed, and have so much enjoyment. Crucially, it epitomises the vibrant village-like community of Southbourne, one of the main jewels in the crown for Bournemouth. Full of growth, independent businesses and buzz... which the BCP area so desperately needs! Terrible to stamp it out..

We love to walk along the beach and grab a coffee or cold drink . Also love the music events they run all through the year. Such an inclusive environment.

Great unique community

It’s a beautiful place. Somewhere for people to socialise and be by the beach as we don’t have a lot of that in Bournemouth.

It's a brilliant, inclusive, varied outdoor site which a hell of a lot of people go to, enjoy and actually feel comfortable going to be it by themselves or with a group. Why change something that is clearly working.

Its a great family destination in a town that is lacking this and is being ran into the ground by a council unfit to govern

I love to pop in for a decent coffee on beach walks with dogs, family & friends. Always a great service & atmosphere. I love that it has developed organically and is so quirky. I would miss it.

I come down to Sobo every Sunday morning for a swim with my friends and always have a coffee and some breakfast after. We spend most of the summer days with local friends, and those from out of town at sobo enjoying the music, the drinks and the food. I live local to Sobo, just across the road and it’s perfect for my daily walks to grab a quick coffee and sit and enjoy the beach and the good energy sobo brings. It’s perfect.
