A ten-year strategic plan to guide investment, support partnerships, and ensure the BCP area is able to take up new opportunities has been approved.

The BCP Growth Plan sets out a long-term vision for Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole, aiming to create a better connected, sustainable, productive, and inclusive economy by 2036.

The plan was unanimously backed by cabinet members at a meeting on July 22.

During the meeting, Councillor Millie Earl said: “We are one of the largest urban areas in the south west we have strong business excellent universities and colleges major household name employers and successful small and medium business employers to. We have an airport, a port and of course our outstanding natural environment.

“But we know that there are real challenges holding us back in terms of housing affordability our transport connectivity and our productivity is lower than we would like and also the fact we don’t see every community benefiting equally from economic success. This plan gives a clear response to those challenges.”

“The growth plan is an important document as we push forward with devolution.”

The growth plan supports the council’s overall vision to create safe, healthy, and sustainable communities where people and places thrive.
