SOBO has built an amazing community and brought a special vibe to the area. It should be allowed to continue to run on the site that it has transformed.

Local community hub to meet friends and family. Caters for a real variety of activities. Has a lovely community atmosphere.

It’s a fabulous local community hub with a great atmosphere and should be allowed to continue with all it does for the people who actually live here. It would be a travesty if it were to go to a faceless corporation who couldn’t care less about the community.

Great place for all ages to meet any time of the year. Would be tragic to lose it.
Hilary, Ferndown · signed 2 days ago
It's a meeting place for everyone the areas still needs these locations think about what happened when the sandacre shut it ripped the heart from the community and the same will happen to our beloved sobobeach

I come here often for the community centres and independent spirit which reflects Southbourne and is close to my daughters school
Matthew, Poole · signed 2 days ago
I come here all year round. I live on my own and it’s such a friendly place. I love all the community events.

I’m absolutely gutted to hear the news that SOBO might be going. SOBO has been an integral part of the local area for years. It provides a much-needed meeting point for friends and families and attracts tourists from afar. We visit all year round to eat, drink and spend time as a family. The relaxed atmosphere, non-corporate vibes and tasty food and drink makes it a favourite spot for so many people. There are already too many chains along our beach - we need to protect small businesses.
