THE Trevor Osborne Group believes the way is clear for it to build its long awaited Bournemouth leisure complex.

If work gets under way next February as announced, the Nautilus project could create 300 jobs.

It will also bring controversy if the Odeon chain moves out of the fine old cinemas in Westover Road.

Bournemouth people are used to big projects being announced but less used to them being completed. Yet we should all take an interest in this one. Whether it becomes a boon to the town or a bane, if Nautilus goes ahead it will have a big impact on the town.
