I AM writing as a disgusted user of Poole Bus Station and Dolphin Shopping Centre.

I find that these areas (particularly outside) are extremely dirty and outdated and in need of an extensive refurbishment.

The fact that Poole’s council has waited this long for a revamp is completely unacceptable and I do not believe that seeing Poole Bus Station and the Dolphin Shopping Centre in their current state is a very pleasant welcome to Poole for tourists.

Ideally, the bus station should be relocated in order to open up the shopping centre front but, however, the least that should be done is to clean and refurbish the area.
