It’s all very well #Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council trying to claim that the UK’s first public beach hut is a Trigger’s Broom…and it needs to be swept away for the ‘greater good’ of creating a welfare area for contractors maintaining the pier, but that’s not the whole story I think.

Its about gentrification.

Wiping away the traces of working class social history in the town.
