  There’s such a lack of beachfront places across the BCP area, it would be criminal to lose this one

  We own a beach hut just along from sobo, and sobo is the main reason why we chose that location.

  It is part of the bed rock of local community, it has given myself and my family a place for support and connection with others. We frequently swim and spend beach days at Sobo. The council is being completely foolish in how they are handling this process and clearly not listening to what the residents of Southbourne actually want.

  It's a beautiful area housing fantastic small businesses that offer friendly services and a place for all to socialize!

  We visit this place about 8 times a year because it’s great for breakfast, welcomes children and dogs and has a great community atmosphere - it’s become a landmark venue for all.

  This has been a 'go to' for any time I wanted to go for a coffee after gym, go to the beach to relax and just be around like minded people. The community here is incredible, everyone is open and friendly and it is one of the safest places in the area as well.

  It's so so important to have a place to socialise, and especially for the support groups and workshops. There aren't enough spaces like this already so I hope this doesn't also get taken away.

  It’s a great place to come down and meet new people. I have met a whole new bunch of friends whilst being there on my own. A great place to listen to good music and have a boogie during the daytime

  It is such a community space, I enjoy a coffee and peace but then also a cocktail and a dance it’s what’s needed to balance a good life meet and talk to people; it’s pure joy and much needed in life.

  This is a piller of the community. A wonderful place to be and would be a tragedy to see it go
