'Bournemouth will not be rebuilt by nostalgia' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a strange local pastime in Bournemouth. It requires no membership fee, no training and absolutely no personal responsibility. You simply announce that the town is finished, blame the council, blame the businesses, blame the landlords, blame the young people, then return to your day feeling that your civic duty is complete. Apparently, Bournemouth was perfect when Woolworths was open and everyone queued outside Tiffany’s. Crime had not been invented, every shop was occupied and the sun s
'I still believe Bournemouthâs best years can be ahead of it' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Iâve made a terrible discovery since I started writing these columns. The Bournemouth Echo comments section has not yet regenerated Bournemouth. Despite thousands of comments explaining, often in CAPITAL LETTERS, precisely what is wrong with the town, we still have work to do. Over the last few months, Iâve written about Bournemouthâs strengths, its identity, its future, parking, empty shops and our slightly strange obsession with comparing 2026 with whichever year we personally remember m
'Bournemouth has 190,000 reasons to believe in its town centre' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AROUND 190,000 square feet of commercial space is sitting empty across Bournemouth town centre. It is easy to look at those dark windows and locked doors and see decline. I see something else: space for new businesses, jobs, creativity, culture and community. This week, a room full of people gathered at Patch to work out how we turn that possibility into something real. We should put the challenge into perspective. Bournemouth’s town-centre vacancy rate is around 10 per cent, compared with appro
'BCP is not really a place. It is an administrative construct' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s a question. When you go on holiday and somebody asks where you’re from, what do you say? Maybe even Winton, Ashley Cross, Charminster, Southbourne or Westbourne. But has anyone, anywhere, ever proudly said “I’m from BCP” I’d love to meet them. Because BCP is not really a place. It is an administrative construct. A useful umbrella for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Nothing wrong with that. But we should stop pretending it is an identity. People are proud of towns. They are proud of n
'Free parking in Bournemouth wouldn't increase town centre visitors' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
YOU COULD make every car park in Bournemouth free tomorrow. I’m not convinced it would increase visitors to the town centre. I saw a Facebook post about Bournemouth the other day and made the rookie mistake of reading the comments. You can probably guess what happened next. Parking is too expensive. There isn’t enough parking. Parking should be free. People would come back if they didn’t have to pay to park. Bournemouth and Poole College's new £37m building ready to welcome students New M&S stor
