Having walked along the Boscombe Pier and along the promenade in the lovely sun this afternoon, I actually believe it will end up being very good in the end.

Looking back from the end of the pier, the frontage and the buildings are all taking shape. It probably looks better that the view from the Bournemouth Pier with its Imax building and flyover.

I think Boscombe deserves a break and it will come.
