We visit Bournemouth a few times a year and this venue really delivers on a great atmosphere to relax and unwind from the daily stresses. The loss of SoBo would be significant.

It’s an amazing place that you can meet with friends and take the kids - keeps everyone happy! Please don’t take it away and please council people - stop being greedy!!!! You get enough out of businesses and residents!!!!!

Sobo has real community at its heart and has worked hard to build that over the years. It's given so much to the local area, to take that away now would be devastating, especially if the community's voice has not been heard, it would be unjust.

Sobo Beach is a fun, casual expression of beach life and community. We love the way we can walk in there sandy and enjoy the service, food, and drink without it feeling like a pretentious restaurant!

It's such a lovely set up. Chilled and friendly place to go for a coffee and cake after paddle boarding, or a drink after a walk. We go every week at some point and gutted it may be closing.

Welcoming place to come and relax if it’s just for a drink or even nice food. The wellbeing activities are also interesting to attend. Amazing place which makes you feel part of a community.

Changing to a new lease holder is not in the community’s interest- SOBO beach bus provide excellent pricing, vibrancy and it’s a place people plan their day around. I would be curious to know why the lease is being taken from them, and who benefits from that? Are pockets being lined?
