GOOD luck to the Daily Echo and the Boscombe Regeneration Partnership in their efforts to make a ‘better Boscombe’.

Lots of hard work lies ahead concerning making the essential improvements required.

One element which affects the street scene is the illegal placing of boards and other clutter on the pavements.

These create such inconvenience and act as hazards threatening partially blind and otherwise handicapped shoppers.

It is obvious from the picture showing on page 7 of the ‘Backing Boscombe’ Echo published on October 31.

These boards are a public nuisance, and one wonders what these traders are arranging in their shop windows, – as surely that’s what their shop premises are all about, viz to show and advertise their goods, whatever the category.

So, traders in Boscombe, pick up your ‘A’ boards and other unwanted erections and give Boscombe a great opportunity to present Boscombe as a much improved shopping centre.
