Good local feel that brings the community together. The council are so out of touch and should do what residents what and not what they perceive might be right.

Our family have holidays here for 15 years and the amazing facility they provide is key to us returning for days at the beach with our children and grandchildren

It’s a wonderful community space full of good company, good food and drink, good music. It’s not pretentious or flashy and I loved spending time there.

I walk my dog on the beach every day & get grear coffee @ Sobo, I meet friends, I spend summer days with kids & buy food/drinks from Sobo, I meet friends for cocktails on summer evenings.Its friendly, hosts events & has great food & drinks. It works so well- why on earth try & replace something so successful.

SOBO is our little piece of happiness by the sea! ❤️ We love our coffee, the music, wonderful atmosphere and sense of community. Our Golden Retriever Mollie adores her doggie doughnut! 🐾 It’s a truly special place that brings so much joy to so many. Please let SOBO stay! ❤️

Its a lovely walk along the beach, nice to stop and get a drink, bite to eat and the sunday sessions are great fun, being outside near the sea, it feels like your in holiday but your not your down your local beach enjoying the views with a safe environment to have fun with family and friends.

Sobo matters to me because it's a great community hub with a nice class of people. We quite often take our dog's along the beach and it's nice to see people enjoying themselves.

A supporter in New Milton · signed 19 hours ago
It’s my favourite place to go no matter what the weather or occasion. I’ve spent so much time here with my family and we would be devastated if it went. My parents visit sobo almost everyday and it’s part of their routine, it would break my heart if it went.
Jessica, Bournemouth · signed 19 hours ago
