The creation of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP) enables us to create an iconic coastal economy in a 21st Century digital city-region by the sea. Local government reorganisation was recognised by members of the three preceding councils as a strategic response to the ongoing financial constraints, but it gives us much more than that.
At the heart of our new vision for the city-region has to be a comprehensive housing strategy focused on providing more homes and more accessible housing for local communities, facilitating the growth that we anticipate.
