Over the last two days the Bournemouth Echo has reported stories that question whether or not the Boscombe reef is a good thing.
The stories focus on the fact that lots of effort has gone into improving Boscombe sea front but the issues with crime, poor quality house etc still remain as a real issue just a short walk from the beach.
The story has sparked of a serious debate on the Bournemouth Echo website that is well worth a read.
Personally, for obvious reasons I am all for the reef and I think the development of the reef is a brave, innovative move for the council to take. However after hearing that one of my business associates was stabbed over the weekend in Boscombe I fully agree that the council, businesses and residents of Boscombe must pull together and put a plan in action that will attempt to improve the whole of Boscombe.
