THERE is now ample evidence that Bournemouth is already surfing the regeneration wave with outside help, in a concentrated ares of the town at present.

Richmond Hill is the latest area to benefit from the Three Towns Travel funding.

Private investors are working both sides of Albert Road, creating work and properties of a broad nature, which is bringing an important ‘side road’ back to life.

Linking our leading department store with one of our premier hotels, all stakeholders in this area are united in guiding council decisions where possible to ensure the fullest advantage is gained by all connected to that part of town.

For those who object to cranes and noise, it's the working man and the investors who hold the key to the future prosperity of our town.

Working with the council, the private sector is obviously sharing our confidence and optimism.
