Bournemouth is set to host a town centre summit, where senior figures from various sectors will convene to discuss enhancement and development opportunities for the area. This important meeting, organised by BCP Council, will be held at the Echo Building on Richmond Hill.

The summit brings together a diverse group, including Bournemouth West MP Sir Conor Burns, property developers, landlords, retailers, business leaders, language schools, and police representatives. The focus is to devise strategies to rejuvenate the town centre and attract businesses and visitors back to the area.

This meeting follows an extensive public consultation where over 2,500 residents engaged, sharing their views and ideas for the town’s future. The council, led by Vikki Slade, has been open to a wide range of suggestions from residents, encouraging innovative and creative ideas for the town’s transformation.

The summit is a step towards potential development opportunities in Bournemouth, aiming to harness collective insights and proposals for the town’s progress. Following the summit, the council plans to release detailed information about the discussions and decisions made, outlining the path forward for the town centre’s revitalisation.
