Politicians now jumping on the bandwagon including Tom Hayes MP, Joanne Keeling (deputy chair of the Bournemouth West Conservative Association, who routinely presents as a "concerned resident"), and Cllr Bobbie Dove who doesn't even live in the conurbation.

Backstory here is that the lease to a Southbourne Beach café site, held by Macemade Ltd (t/a "SoBo Beach"), is due to expire on 31/10/26 and a procurement process has resulted in a successful bid from another party. (Rumoured to be "Seventa Events Ltd".) SoBo customers set the petition up last week.
