Tobias Ellwood MP with the speakers at the Conurbation 2050 conference
Sara and Bernard Uzzell were among a group of Bournemouth enthusiasts who presented their ideas for Bournemouth in 2050 to MP Tobias Ellwood. Sara’s dream is a glass bubble containing a sub-tropical water park and Bernard’s is the provision of electric pods to transport passengers around Bournemouth. Other ideas included a venue for arts and culture, a sea-plane linking Bournemouth and Poole and an iconic seafront attraction.
