Why fire risk in Poole is what it is
Poole is built around one of the largest natural harbours in the world, and that gives it a more commercial and industrial weighting than its neighbour Bournemouth. Alongside the Georgian Old Town and Poole Quay sit a working ferry port, marine and industrial estates, and the waterfront residential of areas like Sandbanks. It’s also where Bournemouth University’s main Talbot Campus actually sits, adding student housing to the mix. The result is a broad spread of premises — port and industrial units, harbour-side hospitality, town-centre retail and waterfront flats — each needing its own premises-specific look rather than a template.
