Bournemouth Beach Hut Association - Beach Huts Bournemouth

We need your support

Please contact your ward councillor or portfolio holder, Cllr Mohan Iynegar at to support our request to be treated fairly.

Whilst many felt this wa ...

Bournemouth In Algal Bloom

Beach Hut owners making their way down to the beach in the last two weeks have been concerned at the aroma and look of the water.
