It’s the cornerstone of the community. Whether it’s walking the dog, swimming, work events or having a drink and unwinding on the weekend. If it goes then I won’t travel from BH11 to southbourne beach anymore. I will just go to the pub

Regular venue to meet up with friends year-round. It's become a community hub, bringing people from all walks of life together. It breathes life into the beach even on the coldest overcast days.

It is a vibrant community hub. It supports many important causes such as mental health and wellbeing by hosting many groups and activities. These are aspects that I believe in as essential and could not be replaced easily.

SOBO is a valuable asset to the local area and community. The people that live in and around Bournemouth value its contribution as a beach venue that offers so much to all ages. Please listen to the voice of the local’s and renew the lease. Many Thanks, Carlen

Independent local company is always better
Alex, Southbourne · signed 9 days ago
SOBO is a great draw to the beach. We regularly walk our dog then stop off for a drink year round. The music in the summer is great too. It would be such a loss, even more so if it’s going to be replaced with a generic BPC cafe

A perfect spot to meet friends and wind down - just perfect for a spot by the sea . Different than all the other restaurants and cafes and so welcoming and relaxing . A real community asset .

Love that it has so much for the locals. We don’t need a high end place on Southbourne beach. Great vibes and the dogs love it too. And crazy to make it close before any plans are certain. Go there at least twice a week.
