CONGRATULATIONS to Bournemouth Council, I knew common sense would at long last prevail in the battle of the infamous IMAX.

By reducing the height and revamping the interior it has got to be better and cheaper for all concerned. Mistakes have been made in the past so let’s look to the future.

For many years I was very fortunate to have had the best view in the South of England looking over Bournemouth Bay being employed at the Royal Bath Hotel as its commissioner. Visitors would always comment on the beautiful view until the IMAX appeared.

Hopefully next year they will admire it once again.

We have sadly seen the demise of two of Bournemouth’s famous Winter Gardens so please Bournemouth council consider bringing home the new Winter Gardens. Us locals would love it.
