Bournemouth is a seaside resort on the southern coast of England. It's known for having 7 miles of beaches, Victorian architecture and buzzing nightlife in areas such as the Triangle. The resort is also home to Bournemouth Pier, an activity centre with an obstacle course, a climbing wall and a zip line. The 2-mile long Bournemouth Gardens offer rock gardens, an aviary and plant species from 3 continents.
Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town on the south coast of England directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a 96-mile (155 km) World Heritage Site. Bournemouth's growth really accelerated with the arrival of the railway and it became a recognised town in 1870. Historically part of Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974. Since 1997, the town has been administered by a unitary authority, giving it autonomy from Dorset County Council although it remains part of the ceremonial county. The local council is Bournemouth Borough Council.
The town centre has notable Victorian architecture and the 202-foot (62 m) spire of St Peter's Church, one of three Grade I listed churches in the borough, is a local landmark. Bournemouth's location has made it a popular destination for tourists, attracting over five million visitors annually with its beaches and popular nightlife. The town is also a regional centre of business, home of the Bournemouth International Centre or BIC, and a financial sector that is worth more than £1,000 million in Gross Value Added.
Originally an RAF airfield, Bournemouth Airport was transferred to the Civil Aviation Authority in 1944 and was the UK's only intercontinental airport before the opening of Heathrow in 1946. There are two stations in the town, Bournemouth railway station and Pokesdown railway station to the east. The principal route to the town centre is the A338 spur road, a dual carriageway that connects to the A31 close to the Hampshire border.
The town has a professional football club, AFC Bournemouth, known as the Cherries, which was promoted to the Championship in 2013 and Premier League in 2015. AFC Bournemouth play at Dean Court near Boscombe in Kings' Park, 2 miles (3 km) east of the town centre.

Bournemouth Beach oil drilling about to start - say NO!
Bournemouth Green Update - Jan 2019
with Simon Bull - Green Party Councillor for Winton East
and Amelia Womack - Green Party Deputy Leader
BOURNEMOUTH BEACH OIL DRILLING ABOUT TO START - SAY NO!
After full licensing for test oil drilling in Poole Bay was rammed through by the Conservative Government, oil rig installation is expected to start imminently, within sight of Bournemouth, Purbeck and the Isle of Wight. Oil company Corallian acknowledge that mobile offshore drilling units caused 228 oil spillages in 15 years.
Green campaigners warn that an accident at the site could devastate the coast. An oil spill affecting Bournemouth Beach, the Jurassic Coast or Isle of Wight could rapidly wipe out the holiday trade, with disastrous consequences for thousands of local businesses, tens of thousands of local jobs, and the proud traditions of Bournemouth and the Dorset/Wessex coast.
BBC News reports: If oil can be economically produced, Corallian proposes extracting it by drilling horizontally from the shore, although such a scheme would require a separate licence. They are eyeing local wells believed to contain 30 million barrels of oil.
...Corallian acknowledged that there had been about 228 smaller spills from mobile offshore drilling units between 1990 and 2005.
The independent Dorset Wildlife Trust has declared the environmental risks too great. There is particular concern over the rig's likely damage to habitat of the protected population of seahorses in the area.
Other independent anti-drilling voices whom Conservative ministers have ignored include:
- TV presenters Chris Packham, Kate Humble and Miranda Krestovnikoff
- Bournemouth Natural Science Society
- Birds of Poole Harbour
- East Dorset Friends of the Earth
- A protest on Bournemouth Beach attended by 40 concerned citizens.
Simon Bull, Green Party councillor for Winton East, said: If there is any oil leak, it could go as far as France. We need to draw a line in the sand, so to speak, and put a stop to this test rig.
While visiting Bournemouth where she addressed local campaign group Save Our Shores Bournemouth, Green Party of England and Wales deputy leader Amelia Womack said: The UN have told us that we have 12 years to take positive steps to stop the worst effects of climate change.
We've seen a rise in renewables, we've seen a rise in changing opinions about the future of our environment, and this is a window of opportunity to take action. By investing in the energy of the past, we are not building our resilience for the future.
So we need to make sure that we oppose this oil rig, we oppose oil exploration, especially in such a beautiful community and coastline.

Bournemouth
Bournemouth /ˈbɔərnməθ/ is a large coastal resort town on the south coast of England directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a 95-mile (153 km) World Heritage Site. According to the 2011 census, the town has a population of 187,503 making it the largest settlement in Dorset. With Poole to the west and Christchurch in the east, Bournemouth forms the South East Dorset conurbation, which has a total population of over 400,000.
Before it was founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, the area was a deserted heathland occasionally visited by fishermen and smugglers. Initially marketed as a health resort, the town received a boost when it appeared in Dr Granville's book, The Spas of England. Bournemouth's growth really accelerated with the arrival of the railway and it became a recognised town in 1870. Historically part of Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974. Since 1997, the town has been administered by a unitary authority, giving it autonomy from Dorset County Council although it remains however part of the ceremonial county. The local council is Bournemouth Borough Council.

The History of Bournemouth and human settlement in the surrounding area goes back for thousands of years.In 1800 the area was largely a remote and barren heathland, used only by smugglers - most notably Isaac Gulliver, now considered one of the founding fathers of Bournemouth - and revenue troops.'Bourne Heath' was also known as Wallis Down in the north and Little Down in the south and east, and was part of the Great Heath of central Dorset which extended as far as Dorchester.To the east was Christchurch, to the west was Poole and to the north east was the River Stour.

Bingedrinking Bournemouth
A government minister has said that the binge drinking culture needs to be curbed by tougher enforcement of licensing laws. Culture secretary Andy Burnham yesterday also called for alcohol-related antisocial behaviour to be tackled. Bournemouth was criticised in the Lonely Planet last week because of its bingedrinking image. Madelijne Daub has the story.

Rebecca Nesbit: Extinction and the Ethics of Conservation. A talk for Dorset Humanists
The Earth hasn't seen an extinction on the current scale since the demise of the dinosaurs.
While money pours in for iconic animals such as rhinos, tigers and gorillas, many plants and insects may be going extinct before they are even discovered. Rebecca Nesbit believes it's time to question some of the fundamental beliefs of conservation. By reassessing the natural world, we can ensure that both humans and wildlife can thrive.
Rebecca Nesbit writes about science and the ethical questions it raises. She trained as an ecologist, studying butterfly migration for her PhD, and she currently works with the science Nobel Prizes. Her book Is That Fish in your Tomato explores the risks and benefits of GM crops.

Conservation Lessons of the UK Overseas Territories
Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).
The 14 UK Overseas Territories have 20 times the biodiversity of the UK, including over 1,000 unique species that occur nowhere else on earth. As remote islands and peninsulas, the UK Overseas Territories harbour fragile ecosystems that have been severely impacted by human activities, introduced non-native species and countless other processes. Hundreds of species across the Territories are now at the bring of extinction, but the dedicated and determined efforts of conservationists on all of the UK Overseas Territories are working to safeguard the Territories' wildlife for the world of tomorrow. This film follows a few of the conservation stories from across the Territories.
Please note: although complementary to the BBC FOUR series, the 40 short mini-documentaries are not commissioned or editorially overseen by BBC.

Josephine Wall
Music By Enya: Caribbean Blue
Josephine Wall
Josephine was born in Farnham, Surrey, England in 1947. Educated at Farnham and Parkstone Grammar Schools, her family moved to Poole, Dorset when she was 14.
Her paintings are mainly fantasies, influenced and inspired by the illustrative talents of Arthur Rackam, the surrealism of artists such as Magritte and Dali, and the romanticism of the pre-Raphaelites, which combined with her own imaginative ideas has led to a wide and varied range of work.
Josephine is also an accomplished sculptor and has created a number of unique figurines. Using natural stone found locally, various modelling materials and semi-precious stones, she creates models that once painted, challenge the vieweButterflyr to find where the stone ends and the figure begins.
An increasing demand for character windows, led her to experiment in this field using self adhesive lead and vitreous paint, to reproduce traditional lead-lights and many of her own designs.
Due to her individualistic, textured use of acrylic medium, she has been invited to demonstrate and lecture to local art circles.
Whilst her work has always covered a wide range of subjects, since moving into the world print market, she has produced works with a distinct ethnic flavour and images of many favourite stories and fables. Her fantasy work remains most popular, many containing hidden images or faces, which has become a trademark.
1967 - Following three years at Bournemouth College studying Fine Art, Josephine worked at Poole Pottery as a designer and painter of Delphis Ware (now very collectable), later modeling animals to be displayed at Harrods in London. Her pottery figures include characters from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and mythological creatures. Certain pieces of this work now form part of a book on the history of Poole Pottery.
1974 - A number of larger paintings were exhibited in Teheran and Tokyo.
1975 - Held her first solo exhibition in Swindon.
1990 - Following a period during which she brought up her three children whilst still exhibiting both locally and abroad, a second solo exhibition was held at the Mayfield Gallery in Bournemouth. Also during this year, Josephine and her paintings were the subject of a special feature on Southern Television in the UK.
1991 - Held her third solo exhibition at the Mayfield Gallery.
1993 - Following a visit to the Spring Fair in Birmingham she signed contracts with F.J.Warren based in Hitchen, England and Wizard and Genius from Switzerland to publish her work in the form of framing prints, posters and cards. These prints are distributed worldwide.
1995 - Josephine's painting Dance of all Seasons was selected for the cover of W&G's Cheerful Joys catalogue.
1996 - Signed a licensing agreement with Art Impressions based in Los Angeles, California, which has led to many new outlets for Josephine's images. Many products are now produced including cards, stationery, puzzles, journals, bookplates, back to school products, mugs, needlepoint kits and posters, as well as limited edition prints.
1998 - Five original works were selected for an exhibition at London's prestigious Mall Gallery entitled Art of the Imagination. Josephine has subsequently joined the circle of artists in the society of the same name, with the possibility of many more exhibitions worldwide.
1999 -- Many products are now produced including cards, stationery, puzzles, journals, bookplates, back to school products, mugs, needlepoint kits and posters, as well as limited edition prints.
2004 -- First exhibition at the New York Art Expo, resulting in 6 images being selected for use as Hand Embellished Limited Edition Prints for sale at auctions on board cruise ships around the world.
2005 -- Exhibition at New York Art Expo at which my first book was released The Fantasy World of Josephine Wall.
Received a nomination for the Artv Awards (like Oscars for art) which is to be held on 28th October this year at the M.G.M.Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
Pop Icon Britney Spears requested the use of a number of images for use on her new website britneyspears.com. Britney also purchased a number of Limited Edition prints and Josephine is working on an original painting for her.
Self Published 8 new Limited Edition prints.

Technology used to tackle UK's increasing landslides
Britain's changing weather patterns have resulted in an increase in the number of landslides in recent years as the result of heavy summer and winter rainfall.
Geologists from the British Geological Survey have been measuring landslides across the UK for almost 30 years and have created a database of every landslide reported.
Inside Out's Marie Ashby meets the team based in Nottinghamshire which is using technology to predict future landslides to help reduce the risk of disasters.
Recent events including a road slippage in Rothbury, Northumberland and a railway landslip at Stainforth, South Yorkshire illustrate the impact of landslips on communities.
The collapse of a section of cliffs in Dorset also claimed the life of Charlotte Blackman from Derbyshire when she was on holiday a year ago.
It is hoped new technology will allow the British Geological Survey team to link geology and weather to produce a daily landslide forecast and prevent similar accidents.
