WHATEVER has happened to Bournemouth town centre?

What a disgrace it is now - empty shops and chewing gum stamped into pavements everywhere. It is scruffy.

We stayed in Abingdon on Friday night where we met a lady who had come to Bournemouth for the weekend with friends. She said she would never come back again.

The yobby-type kids being sick and creating mayhem in the evening were dreadful.

It is about time Bournemouth council did something to improve what used to be a stylish, classy, pleasant town to visit.

It is utterly unbelievable that this could happen. Time to bring it back to the lovely town it used to be and stop encouraging hen and stag weekends.
