Why fire risk in Bournemouth is what it is
Bournemouth is a major seaside resort and one of southern England’s largest retail and commercial centres, at the heart of a conurbation of around 380,000 people. It carries two big fire-risk stories at once. The first is students: Bournemouth University — whose main campus actually sits in Poole — and Arts University Bournemouth feed a large shared-house and HMO market, concentrated in Winton, Charminster, Boscombe and Springbourne, where ordinary houses have been converted into lets. The second is the seafront: a dense run of apartment blocks, hotels and holiday accommodation, where sleeping risk and protected escape routes matter most. The council also operates Article 4 controls on HMO conversions in parts of the town — a sign of how concentrated that market has become.
