Tim Farron walked down the coast path to deliver his leader’s speech to the Liberal Democrat Conference at Bournemouth’s BIC last Wednesday.
Now the Green Party has taken over the BIC for its conference and new delegates will be out on the West Cliff mingling with walkers as the warm sunshine continues.
Many Greens are likely to be critical of the recent decision to block the wind farm in the sea. However, the view remains beautiful and a rival to any resort abroad which is reached by air rather than electric train.
This morning a marquee on the beach was being prepared for serving vegetarian food to the Greens who are in town for four days.
It’s good to see the Green Conference organisers recommending Marlins Hotel and The Pinedale for accommodation as well as the Royal Bath Hotel which is offering rooms for £70. These are the handy hotels for walkers too.
