Engagement and Communication at Bournemouth Towns Fund

Effective community engagement has been central to the success of the Better Boscombe initiative under the Towns Fund programme. This process is not only a key requirement of the Towns Fund grant, but it is also aligned with BCP Council's Community Engagement and Consultation Strategy. The strategy is grounded in five core principles: Involved communities, Inclusive communities, Transparency, Simplicity, and Collaboration.

Consultation Milestones

  • Summer 2020: A formal six-week consultation was conducted to shape the Boscombe Town Investment Plan.
  • 2022: Focused consultations on specific projects were held, informing the development of Business Cases, all of which were submitted and approved by the Government in 2023.

You can view the full reports on these consultations below.
