Bournemouth Council has announced that a casino to be built adjacent to Bournemouth Pavilion will be reduced in size to keep residents happy. The casino will now have a floor area of 38,100sq ft (3,540sq m), of which 14,900sq ft (1,380sq m) will be for gaming – 16 per cent smaller than planned – while new rooftop walkways and outdoor terraces will be built to make the venue more ‘family-friendly’.
