Locals in the seaside town say the tourist hot spot has deteriorated in recent years,
with rising crime
and a lack of security
as police continue to investigate a tragic double stabbing with one woman dead and another in hospital with serious injuries.
One local, who didn't want to be named, said:
'There's definitely been a noticeable increase in antisocial behaviour and crime in Bournemouth in the last few years.
And I think there's a correlation between that and the council cutting back on security.
They used to hire proper security to patrol the beach
but now they just have these rangers,
who don't have any powers to detain anyone'.
'It's alarming, the number of rapes and stabbings in Bournemouth lately.
It's rough down here now.'
A couple who rent a beach hut but wanted to be anonymous said:
'I do think Bournemouth has gone downhill recently.
We are definitely worried by this incident,
but we wouldn't walk around the beach late at night anyway
and we've never really noticed any trouble in the daytime'."
