He says the Dorset seaside town now feels neglected, with shuttered shops and tired surroundings replacing its former charm.
I VISITED Bournemouth this weekend.
It’s been about 10 years since I last came.
Then, it was vibrant with high end shopping and a great atmosphere.
Now it looks run down, dirty and many of the shops are boarded up. It was actually very sad to see.
Why has it been allowed to fall into such a state of disrepair?
