I WAS delighted recently to read the letter from the lady who plainly stated that Bournemouth needs a bus station more than more cafes and cinemas.
A bus station is a priority, the so-called “iconic” West Central, which to me looks like a shanty town in the sky, is not.
Buses make the Square look cluttered. Finding the right bus for those unfamiliar with the area is an anxious and unnecessary trek.
The council should admit that selling the site was a major mistake. Perhaps it is not too late. As the developers might, like all concerns, be experiencing financial problems, would it not be possible for the developer and the council to come to some arrangement whereby, the ground floor could be a bus station?
