Bournemouth; the good and the bad

This weekend we went to Bournemouth for shopping, a walk by the sea and to dump some rubbish. The shops were great; I found what I wanted within 10 minutes of parking the car (at an extortionate cost). There are many places from which one can walk along the sea shore, the one pictured being just over the boundary into Poole.
However, Bournemouth Borough Council is as mean as the worst. There is a council refuse tip just over the boundary from Ferndown but one has to show proof of Bournemouth residency to use it. How mean and nasty is that ?
Contrast it with the dump at Wimborne, where all are welcome with no questions asked.
Three cheers for Wimborne and for East Dorset Council. Two fingers to Bournemouth; we cheated and dumped our rubbish in your rotten dump regardless !
