Boscombe is not finished. I live here, and have never been pestered by salesmen or drunks. The majority of people outside cafes are normal people enjoying their coffee and watching the world go by. The shops that have gone either could not renew their lease or were part of a national group that went bankrupt.

Where are the druggies, drunks etc that these visitors see?

I am sick to death of knockers of Boscombe. A great deal of hard work has gone into Boscombe becoming a good and safe place to live and it is working.

I walk my dog at midnight and never have a problem. There is a wide choice of quirky shops not just a replica of any other town.
