BEST beach in UK? It used to be before all the stones were dredged up from the bay.

The best beach was when you could walk around Bournemouth centre at night without the fear of violence.

I lived in the Fir Vale Road area, and trouble was minimal to what it is now – the sixth highest level of violent crime in the UK.

A friend asked my wife if she would meet up in the town centre during the early evening, this week, a definite no was the response, as the area is unsafe and a no-go area.

The council has failed the town with their policies, have wasted millions, and now try to bask in the glory of Trip Advisor, what a hoot.
