  It’s very relaxing after a stroll along the front - great for refreshments, great friendly team. What else will people loose - it’s not just about money….

  One of the few really good affordable places on the beach. By far the best all round venue.

  Please renew the lease. Such a great year round facility for all ages, it's what locals and visitors want, a fun place to eat drink and enjoy the views.

  It’s a community not just a restaurant

  I walk the dog and drop in for coffee or we could down for Sunday club sessions and I do yoga on SOBO beach in the summer. We’ve been on Boxing Day and it is a 30 minute drive for us so it has to be a venue that appeals and is affordable, welcoming and creates community.

  I bring my daughter over from Poole, we love it here. She takes part in some of the art clubs that are run on the bus. It’s unpretentious and friendly with great food unlike some of the beach bars/cafes in Poole.

  It’s part of the community and a great meeting place whilst walking, swimming or just meeting up with friends. Shouldn’t go to a corporate company

  It is a space that brings people together, not just during the summer season, but all year round, keeping our town and communities alive.

  I often go swimming and bodyboarding, the bar is a much welcome stop to grab refreshments and really enjoy the entertainment provided, being new to the area it's a great place to meet with like minded locals

  I live up on Southbourne Road and walking along the beach with my son to go and have a little time together out in the fresh air and enjoy the friendly and appropriate setting is a little treat that he really enjoys - sitting on the buses with an ice cream, or having a hot chocolate. Why change what isn't broken?

  We are down the beach most weekends and visit Sobo beach for refreshments and a sea view several times a month.

  This is my community space. Bournemouth town centre has nothing like this and so please don’t make the same mistake that the councillors have made in the town centre. Sobo is an active safe place to meet friends and family

  So many fond memories here, every time family come to visit we go here, I had my first date with my now husband here, my kids ask to go to Sobo at least once a week. It's a critical community space that needs to be protected
