£24 million in 'regeneration' planned for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole
BCP Council's set out their spending plans for the next five years
Over £24 million is going to be spent on delivering housing and regeneration across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole over the next 5 years.
The money's coming from the Community Infrastructure Levy - a charge paid by developers - which BCP Council can then invest into vital local projects.
They've outline four priorities for spending:
- Poole Bridge to Hunger Hill flood defence scheme
- Habitats site mitigation strategies
- Transport
- Bearwood and Merley education provision
Cllr Millie Earl, Leader of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, said: “Strategic CIL funding is a vital capital pot, not at the cost of taxpayers, which allows us as a to Council to re-invest money into projects that we know will benefit communities.
“I am really pleased that we’ve been able to set out a vision for the next five years as to where this money will be spent – helping to deliver brand new houses and educational provisions for future generations.
“We will also invest this money into ensuring our coastline is protected as well as delivering important maintenance to transport infrastructure across our three towns.”
