IF Bournemouth, as a contender by royal consent, does become a ‘city’, I would like to know what benefits the ordinary long-term local people might gain?
We might have new signposts and council letter headings stating, ‘The City of Bournemouth’, but what else would there be?
We would still have the same homelessness with diminishing social housing, beggars, alcoholics, drug users, bedsit-land and constant crime on our streets to maintain such.
It would also help encourage the area to be even more popular with night clubs and drunken binge drinking from many outside, as if we haven’t already got enough of that.
Please tell me, anybody, where would making Bournemouth a city change or even improve on any of that for our ordinary local people?
