Lansdowne has quietly become a centre for future talent. We have @LABournemouth, @BPCollege, @inspiredAUB and @bournemouthuni - all doing great things

As those young people look out of the window and start thinking ahead to their future, the opportunity is there to make a good impression

People are mobile and will naturally go wherever makes sense

For those who want to stay and live in Bournemouth, they need opportunities

That’s what our MP’s, Council and anyone else in a position to facilitate businesses locating here need to focus on

Taking a bit of inspiration from the 1980s and JP Morgan’s arrival is no bad thing

@Skywalker_737 @BCPCouncil @Bournemouthecho @JessicaToale @TomHayesBmouth @bournemouthuni @bptourismuk @BPCollege @bmthtownbid This is exactly the sort of vision that’s needed 👏

I’d value the bus going from the Airport, stop off briefly at RB Hospital (so many connections m1, X3 etc), then to the Travel Interchange (best location for onward rail)

Imagine it hasn’t been commercially attractive until now @BOHAirport @Morebusco but with flights increasing hopefully an every 30 minutes bus would do it - as a start / test

It’s crazy that it’s cheaper to get public transport / train from our area to SOA than taxi to BOH. Needs to change 👍

@Skywalker_737 @afcbournemouth @TomHayesBmouth @Bournemouthecho @BournemouthOne @bournemouthuni @BBCDorset @JessicaToale It would be nice to see the negative responders come up with their own ideas? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@aarongibson @Skywalker_737 @BCPCouncil @Sustainable_BU @bournemouthuni @Bournemouthecho @BournemouthOne @TomHayesBmouth @JessicaToale Oh yes - now you’re talking. In our busy busy world, there’s so much scope for wellness. This is a very relevant way for Bournemouth to honour its heritage and make it fit for now

Love this @Skywalker_737 and some thoughts / builds

One thing that’s changed in the last ~10 years is the introduction of beryl bikes. Very welcome. Problem is that this road ends up like a muddle. We’ve got pedestrians, cyclists, e-Scooters.

Second thing is that the places on this road are now less traditional retail (shops) and more cafes / restaurants. Many cities in continental Europe embrace this by putting seating areas under umbrellas in the centre of the street not by the side of each cafe

I think this street is ripe for a redesign that takes all this into account @BCPCouncil @bmthtownbid @JessicaToale 🤷🏻‍♂️

What a brilliant idea @Skywalker_737 👏

One of the big gaps that Bournemouth needs to fill is why you would come to the town centre on a rainy, winter day - unless you’re going somewhere specific that’s indoors

The met office has already told us that winters are going to become milder but wetter so……this problem isn’t going away 🤷🏻‍♂️
