Announcement Kids walking in the road to get to school? Help me fix it.

16 Upvotes

My kids and many others walk in the road to get to school. For six years we’ve been asking BCP Council to provide a pavement on the bridge at Rothesay Road.

Most people take a pavement for granted - the main approach to this school doesn’t have one.

If you live or work in the BCP Council area please find out more and support our campaign by signing the petition. Thank you.

Question How has Bournemouth changed since 2009? Would you recommend moving back down here?

8 Upvotes

My father's side of the family is from Poole and they date back to hundred of years, my mother's side of the family is from Berkshire and moved down here in the 80s/90s. I'm from Bournemouth and we moved away in 2009. My sister and I are thinking of moving back to Bournemouth once university is completed next year. We know it has changed of the years, we wondered if any locals could tell us how Bournemouth has changed and if you'd personally recommend moving back. Also, what areas would you recommend avoiding?

For context, my sister is autistic and loves the beach but needs somewhere quiet and not overly noisy.

People/meetups Anyone interested in a reading/book group in Bournemouth?

2 Upvotes

I'm posting this at ridiculous o' clock, as I just got back from a long journey and I'm struggling to sleep. So I'm not sure how many people will read this, but hey, let's give it a go!

I was just wondering if anyone was interested in forming a little informal reading/book discussion group around the Boscombe/Bournemouth area? The groups I have looked up seem few and far between, and only seem to meet up about once a month. I can get through a book every week or 10 days, so I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a fortnightly group?

Please just comment or DM me if you might be interested.

People/meetups Local casual Pokémon TCG/fan group recommendations?

8 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a local Pokémon group (both TCG or the VGs) that's more casual and hopefully accepting of autistic people? Preferably near Winton or Bournemouth town centre.

I know the Trove holds TCG events but those seem to be tourneys, and I kind've suck at competitive events :/ I'm looking for both me and my sister :D

Question Where can I buy Lorne/square sausage in Bournemouth?

3 Upvotes

Even willing to accept the frozen stuff at this point. I’m craving a proper full Scottish fry-up, and it’s just not the same without square sausage.

ETA: should have mentioned that I’ve had it from Iceland in the past, but no joy recently.

Question Roofer repair recommendation

0 Upvotes

The string winds last night and downpour have made me aware I have a leak in my roof! First time with this type of thing and not sure if I should go through insurance yet but thought getting a roofer to look at what the damage is and quote works is a good start. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a roofer?

Question Does anyone else have house rabbits?

Hi, new to the area. I have a neutered and fully vaccinated house rabbit and would love for him to meet other rabbits. He is extremely nice and loves other rabbits, I used to do this sort of thing before I moved here.
Does anyone else in the area have a house rabbit that would be interested in arranging something of a play date?

Question Moving home

3 Upvotes

After five years away and suffering a bereavement I want to move back. I grew up in Southbourne but doubt I can afford it there. What are the better areas to live but mid budget? I want to be able to easily see friends in Southbourne or to have good access to the town for night life. I like Southbourne as it has its own community there so something similar.
