About BH12 — coverage and access
BH12 straddles the Bournemouth and Poole boundary and takes in Branksome and its station, Alderney, Newtown, Talbot Heath and the Wallisdown side of the university. Tower Park sits inside it. The result is an unusually mixed postcode — 1930s semis and bungalows on one side, dense student housing near the Talbot campus on the other, and new-build estates filling the gaps between. It is also the postcode where our student season is busiest outside Winton.
Four and a half miles from base and inside the free-mileage radius, so no travel charge. Alder Road and Ringwood Road are the through routes and both queue at peak, but the estate roads either side are wide and easy. The pinch point is the student housing around Talbot: in late June and mid-September the shared houses turn over almost simultaneously, parking on those streets disappears, and the slots go weeks ahead. If you are moving in or out of a student house in BH12, book early — it is the one part of our diary that genuinely runs out.

"I needed someone to pick up a sofa for me and Robert was brilliant from start to finish. Friendly on Wottsapp . The day before he messaged just to make sure everything was ok. He messaged me the morning of pick up & let me know what time they would be arriving. They were great getting the sofa downstairs and taking it to the flat. Nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely be using these guys again. Thanks to you both. Lisa Osborne"
