THE long-awaited Bournemouth and Poole Monopoly game was due to be launched this morning at Bournemouth Pier.

The special edition is certain to prove popular for Christmas, and today we can reveal the locations, landmarks and organisations that have made it on to the board.

Top spot goes to Bournemouth Pier, which occupies the square traditionally associated with Mayfair.

Sandbanks features in the second most prestigious square but there are a number of surprises scattered around the rest of the board.

The Daily Echo features an impressive three times as the Community Chest, with Chance squares occupied by three local radio stations.

Green squares are occupied by Frizzell House, Bournemouth University and St Peter's Road and yellow by Christchurch Road, Westover Road and Exeter Road.

The Bournemouth Eye, Tower Park and Bournemouth Airport are featured in red, Old Christchurch Road, the Dolphin Centre and Castlepoint in orange and Dean Court, Poole Harbour and West Quay Road in pink.

The five remaining coloured squares are taken up by Alum Chine, the Upper and Lower Gardens, Hengistbury Head and Brownsea Island.

Bournemouth Tourism, the town's stations, zig zags and water companies complete the board.

The £24.99 game is now available from a number of leading stores including Tesco, WH Smith, Beales, Woolworths, Debenhams, Waterstone's and Virgin.
